Abstract

By analysing four projects that involved houses with courtyards designed by Rogelio Salmona, this article reaches a hypothesis about how Le Corbusier could have influenced the work of the Colombian architect. Common ground is identified in both architects’ approaches, which is described and illustrated by reviewing some of their works. The approach taken in this article is through the analysis of a number of variables, which leads to the systematic and infinitely rich possibilities of characterising the work of both architects.

Keywords: Salmona, Le Corbusier, influence, recombining elements, houses with courtyards, mentoring, teacher and disciple
