Abstract :Le Corbusier left an indelible mark on architecture through his avant-garde designs and writings. This paper aims to examine Le Corbusier’s architectural projects, books, and theoretical works, exploring the multifaceted relationships and interactions between his projects and publications. The study presents a novel framework for understanding Le Corbusier’s works and productivity in three distinct phases: Early period (1887-1919), middle period (1920-1942), and late period (1943-1965). The research methodology integrates literary and historical contextualization with architectural analysis. This combined approach enables a clearer interpretation of the layers within Le Corbusier’s complex legacy. In this context, this study aims to provide an in-depth understanding of Le Corbusier’s ideas through his 77 architectural projects, 50 books, and one magazine, examining his architectural productivity in a holistic approach. The paper concludes that the interaction between Le Corbusier’s projects and publications is limited in the early period due to the artistic content of his books. The interaction widens in the middle period as his focus turns to modernism, functionalism, urban planning, and housing. In the late period, the interaction shifts toward monumentalism and spirituality.
