A Our work is a team effort and the most
important project for the Foundation is not
the most visible and the most spectacular: it
is the creation of a database that will allow all
audiences around the world to have access to
all the Foundation’s resources, archives, and
collections.
The project to create a Le Corbusier museum
also mobilizes us a lot because our collection
of 8,000 drawings, 35,000 plans, paintings,
tapestries, models, sculptures as well as the
archives of the agency of 35 Rue de Sevres
and Le Corbusier is not exhibited, nor
accessible but kept in warehouses.
Q Can you tell us about the most important
projects for the near future that the
Foundation is following?
The Foundation must think about the future,
and we have been working for several years
on a project: the creation of a Le Corbusier
Museum. We have a considerable collection
that is kept in storage and that we would like
to make available to the public.
We also think of this museum as a research
center on architecture and the city, which
also raises the question of the social and
environmental responsibility of the architect.
