Abstract
Now on the world stage as much for his works as for his first houses, Le Corbusier was invited to present his ideas on major cities in numerous lecture tours, for which he deployed a refined persuasive device based on a visual narrative developed in real time in front of his audiences.
While he was designing his largest building of the interwar period, the Centrosoyouz, he drew up a radical urban plan for Moscow, which he generalized in 1929 in the form of the Ville radieuse .
Between South America and Algiers, he also initiated a new project strategy, in which the orthogonal outlines of his first plans were replaced by sinuous forms, elaborated during his aerial flights over cities, but also thought out on the basis of the perception given to their sites by driving.
