This book considers the architect Le Corbusier's encounters with
Australia and New Zealand as a two-way exchange, showing the impact
of his ideas and projects on architects of the region whilst also
revealing counterinfluences on Le Corbusier in his post-war career
that were activated by his contacts. Compiled from detailed
archival research undertaken at the Fondation Le Corbusier, Paris,
and nationally based archives, Le Corbusier in the Antipodes brings
together a set of episodes placing them in context with the history
of modern art, architecture and urbanism in 20th century Australia
and New Zealand. Key exchanges between Le Corbusier and others
never before described are presented and analyzed, including Le
Corbusier's contact with Australian architect Harry Seidler at
Chandigarh, Le Corbusier's drawing of the plan of Adelaide in 1950
and his creative collaboration with Jorn Utzon on art for the
Sydney Opera House. This book also includes analysis of previously
unseen Le Corbusier artworks, which formed part of the Utzon family
collection. In reading these personal and contingent moments of
encounter, the book puts forward new ways of understanding the
dissemination and mediation of Le Corbusier's ideas and their
effects in post-war Australia and New Zealand. These antipodean
contacts are set against the broader story of Le Corbusier's
career, questioning received interpretations of his design methods
and current assumptions about the influence of his work in national
contexts beyond Europe.
