FIGUEROA PEREIRA, Erick Abdel. The poplar and the pilotis: Norm and Anomaly in Le Corbusier's Maison Curutchet. Apuntes [online]. 2010, vol.23, n.1, pp.46-55. ISSN 1657-9763.

An issue that has received little treatment in the studies devoted to the only built work of Le Corbusier built in Latin America, maison Curutchet in La Plata, Argentina (1948-1953), is the role of the tree contained in that building. This essay aims to show that the management given by Le Corbusier to that issue is not accidental and that the relationship between the tree, the project and the built work has precedents in some works of this architect that date back to the 1920s. To demonstrate this fact it appeals to the compositional analysis of the project and the work, reading of the treatment of the topic in the previous investigations and the review of several publications on the mentioned house.
