アンドレ・リュルサの建築理論と設計手法の分析(1) : 1924年から1932年の集合住宅作品を中心として

抄録

In this paper, I attempt to make clear the architectural theory and the design method of an famous French modern architect, Andre Lurcat (1894-1970) by an analysis on the plans of apartment housing through 1924-1930. Lurcat refused the prevailing academism and composed his works in the international style, emerging in this period. However his frequent introduction of symmetry both in plan and elevation made his designs look academic ones. Such obvious contradiction between his architectural direction and projected designs was derived from his belief that symmetry could fulfill the economic and social needs in the plans of housing. That is to say, Lurcat used symmetry in the sense of rational design method.
