Opis

The "promenade architecturale" is a central element of Le Corbusier's architectural and city-planning designs. It is the sequence of images that unfolds before the eyes of the observer as he or she gradually advances through the structure. It is the creation of a hierarchy among the architectural events, a set of instructions for reading the work - "the internal circulatory system" of architecture.
