Sketch site plan and sketch view of an alternative proposal for the pavilion at UNESCO Headquarters
DR1988:0425
Description:
- Le Corbusier prepared this drawing inscribed "reponse a lettre / de Gropius / recue le 22 Octobre 54" in response to Walter Gropius' suggestion that he too reply to a letter addressed only to Gropius by Eugene Callison, Chief engineer at UNESCO Headquarters, Paris. Callison had requested that Gropius comment on a proposal by the Zehrfuss-Breuer-Nervi team to add a pavilion to the existing UNESCO building. Le Corbusier was dissatisfied with the team's pavilion, which shows a narrow, glazed oblong raised on pilotis (Shapiro, fig. 219). He proposed instead this sketch for a detached pavilion consisting of a roughly-finished, curving wall enclosing a garden, which he sent to Callison, along with a critique of the Zehrfuss-Breuer-Nervi team's proposition. On 26 October 1954, he also sent copies of his proposal to all of the project advisors.
