Abstract

The Curutchet House, a Le Corbusier work built in La Plata, is a theoretical and artistic reference of modern architecture. The results of the Study on the artists and works exhibited in the Curutchet House: Artistic Views about Le Corbusier’s work are shared. The aim of the research is to gather artistic views on the Curutchet House —World Heritage of Humanity— generating a documentary collection of this visual material, which allows different approaches beyond the architectural one. Strategies for archiving, research and dissemination of this lesser-known heritage are implemented. The analysis allowed the development of analytical writings, based on aesthetic and architectural issues, Le Corbusier’s to be seen through the image of contemporary artists.
