- Born in Firminy in 1963 at the heart of the largest ensemble designed by Le Corbusier in Europe, Gilles Coudert spent part of his adolescence frequenting the sports complex, the swimming pool, the Maison de la Culture, the housing units and the church that make up this unique architectural ensemble.
The use of these spaces and buildings of surprising forms brought to life by Le Corbusier enabled him to apprehend the notions of architecture, urbanism and design, ignited his awareness of shape, material, color, and provoked in him an aesthetic and functional questioning that most likely prompted him to later integrate the Saint-Etienne School of Fine Arts.
Many contemporary creators, artists, architects, choreographers, filmmakers, designers, composers also refer to the works, the methodology or the figure of the architect in a rapport alternately aesthetic and political, laudatory or critical, which testifies of a renewed interest if not a fascination for the Modern Movement through the most iconic of its representatives.
Gilles Coudert has obtained the testimonies of these creators, questioned their personal relationship with Le Corbusier, and especially the manner in which they reinterpret this relationship in their respective fields, to create a work. In order to verify why a renewed interest in architecture and the architect's thought seem more relevant than ever, Gilles Coudert also interrogates the architectural historian Jean-Louis Cohen, as well as meeting residents and users that claim an influence in their own way, a filiation or a critical position vis-à-vis the architect, his work and his spirit.
The architectural works of Le Corbusier are classified as UNESCO World Heritage since July 2016.
