Promenade architecturale, a concept pioneered by Le Corbusier, is a vital aspect of modernist architecture, focusing on the interaction between movement and space. This design strategy encourages users to engage with architecture through a journey that reveals various perspectives and architectural elements. Iconic works such as Villa La Roche and Villa Savoye embody this idea with features like ascending paths and rooftop gardens, integrating the built environment with nature. This approach continues to influence contemporary architectural design across various typologies, promoting dynamic spatial experiences that transcend traditional views of architecture.
Architecture is walked through, it is traversed, and it is not, as certain principles suggest, a purely graphic illusion organized around an abstract central point where man is meant to be—a chimerical man-equipped with a fly's eye, whose vision would be circular.
The promenade begins at the building's entrance and unfolds as a path to be experienced by the body, gradually revealing the architectural richness of the structure.
