Guillaume Jullian de la Fuente (1931-2008) was Le Corbusier’s (1887 - 1965)
primary assistant in many of his later projects. I first became acquainted
with Jullian in 2007 at MIT, when Stanford Anderson very kindly introduced
me to Ann Pendleton-Jullian and through her I met Jullian. My brief correspondence
and discussions with him led me to be introduced to a facet of Le
Corbusier work that remains largely unexplored, and which Jullian termed
the ‘Potato Building typology’. This paper is an attempt to briefly present
the ‘horizontal’ element in Le Corbusier’s oeuvre and its significance in determining
the parameters of this proposed typology.
