Abstract

The “axis” is ubiquitous in Le Corbusier’s architectural oeuvre. “The Chiasm: The Inverse Parallel of Le Corbusier” examines the concept of the axis in the essays, “Architecture, Pure Creation of the Mind,” and “Architecture, The Illusion of the Plan,” published in Vers une architecture (1923). Le Corbusier writes: “…a sense of the harmonious that gives rise to a resonance…” and “…the trace of an indefinable absolute preexisting at the core of our being.” And decisively, “This must be the axis along which man is organized…”. The axis Le Corbusier described is, in fact, a chiastic device he employed in his writings, drawings and architecture. Chiasmus, conceptually defined, is the “inverted repetition of grammatical structure.” Inversion, as two sides of the axis, identifies representations of things related and simultaneously different. The twentieth century French philosopher Maurice Merleau-Ponty identifies the chiasm as a concept to describe the body as sensible and sentient, a reflection in relation to the self, others, and the perceived world. Merleau-Ponty uses the chiasm to clarify reversibility and the phenomenological experience. Merleau-Ponty’s theories of chiastic inversion substantiate the chiastic structure that supports Le Corbusier’s ideology and his search for a harmonious milieu that is based in the axis.
交错:勒·柯布西耶的反平行
“轴线”在勒·柯布西耶的建筑作品中无处不在。《交错:勒·柯布西耶的逆平行》一文检视了《建筑,心灵的纯粹创造》和《建筑,计划的幻觉》一文中的轴线概念,这两篇文章发表在《建筑学》杂志(1923)上。勒·柯布西耶写道:“……一种和谐的感觉,引起了共鸣……”以及“……我们存在的核心中不可名状的绝对存在的痕迹。”果断地说:“这一定是人类组织的轴心……”柯布西耶所描述的轴线实际上是他在写作、绘画和建筑中使用的一种化学装置。从概念上定义,交错是“语法结构的反向重复”。倒转作为坐标轴的两面,确定了既相关又不同的事物的表征。20世纪的法国哲学家莫里斯·梅洛-庞蒂(Maurice merlo - ponty)将“交叉”定义为一种概念,将身体描述为感性和有知觉的,是对自我、他人和感知世界的反映。梅洛-庞蒂利用这种交错来澄清可逆性和现象学经验。梅洛-庞蒂的交错倒置理论证实了交错结构支持柯布西耶的意识形态,以及他对以轴线为基础的和谐环境的追求。
