Abstract

This is an account of our experience while attending the 3rd International Architecture Workshop 2017 held in France: Tourisme et patrimoine. Le territoire de Roquebrune-Cap Martin. We could have access to a variety of heritage value works among which Le Cabanon becomes the focus of this article not as an objective description of a project topic but as a personal and intimate view of the work. This implies the idea of a simple dwelling which synthesizes and reveals -with natural modesty- all the concepts of the master. Le Cabanon was Le Corbusier’s place of refuge and rest; it is located in the Mediterranean landscape which, in turn, influenced him so deeply. The account is enriched by the view of architect María Salerno who was the organizer and host of the workshop. This article does not aim at providing an accurate definition of the meaning and features of Le Cabanon; rather, it seeks to share the feelings conveyed by the intimate architecture of a private space tailored for one of the most influential architects of all times.
