The first issue of L’Esprit Nouveau came out in October 1920. The magazine, actually managed by Amedée Ozenfant and Le Corbusier, proposed to its readers “to explain the spirit that animates the contemporary era; to express the beauty of this time, the originality of its spirit (...) to show the unitary spirit that encourages the different elites of our Society in their investigations. To present and to clearly comment on the works, research, ideas of those who lead our civilization nowadays”. LC, in a similar way, wishes to become a new journal whose epicentre will be Le Corbusier and the plurality of his work. Initially, the book L’atelier de la recherche patiente was to receive the title of Le Corbusier et son temps, as Le Corbusier himself wanted to be a man of his time. Like L’Esprit Nouveau, LC wants to be a “global journal dedicated to the aesthetics of our time, in all its manifestations”. This is our program: to describe generous convolutions starting from the figure of Le Corbusier in order to apprehend the aesthetics and arts of our time. We also want to recognize a heritage that will be oriented towards the future, in order to allow us to gather a wide spectrum of articles that can investigate the origins of Charles Edouard Jeanneret, his predecessors, his time, until his emergence, manifestation and decline, in the present and in the future. Trying to achieve this goal through any artistic manifestation without any limit or a priori.
