SYSTEMATIZATION THROUGH GRAPHIC TOOLS IN THE WORK OF LE CORBUSIER

Le Corbusier often used drawing as a means of thinking and expression. The existence of such a broad documental legacy, not strictly planimetric, gives an idea of the importance given to graphic expression in all areas. As a result, both his sketches and his editorial production show a set of signs that conform an alphabet of ideograms that marked several generations. Among all the master's production, this article aims to highlight a series of drawings that can be called graphic tools, developed int the Rue de Sevres atelier, thought to simplify decision-making during the project phase. Their design demonstrates how, through his career, Le Corbusier applied the principles of systematization and rationalization in a real way. That is, proposing the standardization of the process rather than the product.
