Resumen:
Un siglo después de Vers une architecture (1923), en octubre de 2024, se organizó el taller Vers une Architecture in Teaching en los Archivos gta de la ETH Zürich, que reunió a archiveros, historiadores, profesores de estudio y estudiantes para examinar cómo el manifiesto de Le Corbusier sigue influyendo —y perturbando— la pedagogía arquitectónica. Dirigido por Véronique Bonne, Frederike Lausch, Ciro Miguel, Daniela Ortiz dos Santos y Marta Sequeira, este trabajo colaborativo culminó en el proyecto curatorial Vers une Architecture in Teaching, celebrado dentro de la exposición Vers une Architecture: Reflections, que se mostró en el Pavillon Le Corbusier del 25 de abril al 23 de noviembre de 2025, y que se describe en el artículo anterior. En el marco del taller, se realizó una serie de entrevistas a profesores contemporáneos del estudio de la ETH Zürich, invitándoles a reflexionar sobre sus propios encuentros con Le Corbusier y sobre el lugar que ocupa Vers une architecture en su enseñanza. Las entrevistas aquí publicadas, con Tom Emerson y An Fonteyne, ambos actualmente profesores de la ETH Zürich, ofrecen una visión de cómo se percibe, se lee y se cuestiona el libro de Le Corbusier —y al propio Le Corbusier— en la enseñanza de la arquitectura actual.
