Abstract

Le Corbusier's project for the Congress Hall for the city of Strasbourg between 1962 and 1965 has a relatively discreet place in historiography. However, it is frequently presented as a synthesis that skilfully blends the archaism of the rough finishes with the new machinist features of the 1960s. The evolution of the last design phases shows how the spectacular and event-based dimensions largely take precedence over the usual practices of the rue de Sèvres workshop.
