Die Inszenierung eines Mythos: Le Corbusier und die Akropolis

Le Corbusier und die Akropolis

The Acropolis is a leitmotif in the works of Le Corbusier: it was a central element of his self-presentation, and contributed to the success of the myth that surrounded his person.

Turit Fröbe reevaluates the role of the Acropolis in LeC’s thought and work beyond his own narrative.
