Del purismo al espacio puro de Le Corbusier a través del color

Le Corbusier's architectural work, particularly his use of color, revolutionized the concept of space by transcending traditional materialization. This study reveals how his integration of cubism and purism influenced his designs, enabling him to achieve 'pure space' through color alone. The research focuses on the chapel of Notre Dame du Haut in Ronchamp, highlighting its east light tower (painted vermilion) and west-facing twin (white), as exemplars of this approach. By analyzing color theories from movements like purism and cubism, the study demonstrates how Le Corbusier's work shifted architectural paradigms, drawing inspiration from Rainer Maria Rilke's 'pure space' concept in his Duino Elegies. This innovation redefined spatial perception without relying on physical boundaries.
