This work is a carpet with patterns of Navajo appearance, containing the silhouettes of iconic monuments of modernist and contemporary architecture (Villa Savoye, Empire State Building, tours Petronas, Grande Arche de La Défense). The carpet, for Le Corbusier, is the most elementary form of architecture - the basis of nomadic settlement and a primordial form of mobile architecture.
