Abstract

Iannis Xenakis - composer, engineer, and architect - worked in Le Corbusier's office from 1947 until 1960. In the following decades, based on his musical compositions and the architectural ideas that he developed together with Le Corbusier, Xenakis created several spatial compositions of light and sound which he collectively called "polytopes." This term is made up of the ancient Greek words " poly " (many) and " topos " (place). Thus the title is to be understood as a designation for the staging of space in which spaces of light, color, and architecture overlap in one site.
