Abstract

In 1911, a twenty-three-year-old Le Corbusier embarked on a six-month journey from Dresden to Istanbul, and back to his native Switzerland through Greece and Italy. Upon his return, the young architect unsuccessfully attempted to publish his travel notes as a book in 1912 and again in 1914. Only in 1965, forty days before his death, did Le Corbusier conduct the final revision of his 1914 typescript for publication. The next year, Le Voyage d’Orient was published posthumously. Previous scholarship on this book has overlooked the importance of Le Corbusier’s 1965 edits, consequently approaching the work as an authentic testament of the author’s youthful spirit. Based on a new and contextualized reading of the 1914 typescript hand-annotated by Le Corbusier in 1965, this article demonstrates how the late edits constitute a re-writing of a segment of Le Corbusier’s own history, especially in relation to his ideas of modernity, tradition, inspiration, and attachment to Mediterranean architecture.

前瞻性与回顾性:勒·柯布西耶的东方之旅
1911年,23岁的勒·柯布西耶开始了为期六个月的旅程,从德累斯顿到伊斯坦布尔,再经过希腊和意大利回到他的祖国瑞士。回国后,这位年轻的建筑师试图在1912年和1914年出版他的游记,但都没有成功。直到1965年,也就是勒·柯布西耶去世的四十天前,他才对1914年的打字稿进行了最后的修订,以供出版。第二年,《东方之旅》在死后出版。此前对这本书的研究忽略了勒·柯布西耶1965年编辑的重要性,因此将这本书视为作者年轻精神的真实证明。本文基于对勒·柯布西耶于1965年手工注释的1914年字体的新的语境化阅读,展示了后期编辑如何构成对勒·柯布西耶自己历史片段的重写,特别是与他的现代性、传统、灵感和对地中海建筑的依恋有关。
