André Wogenscky’s early housing works (1956-70): The relation between body, interior atmospheres, and envelope

For twenty years, André Wogenscky was one of the most devoted collaborators of Le Corbusier. This article discusses his early independent works (1956-70) on the relation between the human body, the architectural space and the climate. As an evolution of his master’s lessons, this paper focuses on his approach to living atmospheres and the inhabitant’s perceptions that apply to housing projects. It is based on original research of Wogenscky’s files at the Centre d’archives d’architecture du XXe siècle in the Institute français d’architecture.
