In 1929 Le Corbusier traveled to Buenos Aires and visited Brazil and Uruguay.
This book deals with this trip and the impressions received.
Ten lectures on architecture and urban planning, delivered in Buenos Aires, and one lecture in Rio de Janeiro.

"One does not go so far to give lectures on architecture and urban planning if one does not feel capable of contributing some sufficient facts. These ten lectures were delivered there, with the tireless desire to provide some certainties. That is why this book is entitled Clarifications."
"It ends with a Brazilian Corollary (São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro), which is also Uruguayan (Montevideo); this corollary comments on a state of emerging tension in these places of rapid growth: urbanism. Listen: a new era has begun, animated by a new spirit... Upon this void, let us build something new, animated by a new spirit." —Le Corbusier, 1929

Le Corbusier (Charles-Édouard Jeanneret) was born in 1887 in Le Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland, and died on August 26, 1965, in Cap-Martin, France. He settled in Paris in 1917. His work as an architect and urban planner was complemented by his writing, painting, and design. His ideas, publications, projects, and built works were crucial to the consolidation of modern architecture and urban planning.
