Le Corbusier and GATCPAC: Functionalism and Latin Identity

Abstract
This study presents a brief history of design in the context of historic avant-gardes. It shows that, in parallel to the more classical historiographical interpretation which followed Pevsner’s ideas to “internationalize” the production of the 20s and 30s, other models with vernacular Latin roots were obviated.
