Abstract
Le Corbusier's relationship with Argentina spans almost four decades. It began in 1929 with an inaugural trip to Buenos Aires, during which he drew up an initial project for a business city on the banks of the Rio de la Plata, while enjoying the view of the pampas from the plane, which inspired his famous " loi du méandre ". With the help of the young porteño architects Juan Kurchan and Jorge Ferrari Hardoy, he subsequently drew up a Master Plan for Buenos Aires, which would be the subject of two versions, one in 1940 and the other after the war. Finally, it was in the small town of La Plata that, in the early 1950s, he built the Dr. Curutchet house, in which he revived the theme of the " architectural promenade ", imagining an extraordinary vertical path linking volumes protected by brise-soleils.
