The Acropolis is a leitmotif in the works of Le Corbusier: it was a central element of his self-presentation, and contributed to the success of the myth that surrounded his person. Vers une architecture (BWF 2) helped him gain global fame, and the Acropolis played an important part in this work. Turit Fröbe reevaluates the role of the Acropolis in LeC’s thought and work beyond his own narrative.
