Adolf Loos fut l'un des fondateurs de ce que l'on appellera

plus tard le mouvement moderniste en architecture

qui fait primer l'aspect fonctionnel du bâtiment

sur tout autre type de considérations formelles. Cette

préoccupation fut au centre du travail des architectes

du Bauhaus puis de Le Corbusier qui a conçu 17 sites

inscrits au patrimoine mondial de l'UNESCO parmi lesquels

le site de Firminy, sur le territoire de la Métropole

de Saint-Etienne. Ce dernier est le plus abouti et matérialise

l'utopie de Le Corbusier de remettre l'humain au

centre de tout et proposer dans un écrin de verdure une

ville qui met l'architecture au service de l'habitation,

du vivre ensemble et du bien-être physique, culturel et

spirituel.

Adolf Loos was one of the founders of what would

later be called the Modernist Architecture Movement,

which places the functional aspect of a building above

all other formal considerations. This concern was at

the heart of the work of the Bauhaus architects and

Le Corbusier, who designed 17 UNESCO World Heritage

sites, including the Firminy site, located within

the Metropolis of Saint-Etienne. This latter is the most

successful and gives a tangible form to Le Corbusier's

utopian dream of placing humans at the centre of everything

and presenting a city in a green setting that

puts architecture atthe service of housing, communal

living and physical, cultural and spiritual well-being.
