Le Corbusier and the Missing Dimension

Le Corbusier and the Missing Dimension

Architectural drawings define proportion and structure, yet they cannot convey what it truly means to inhabit a space.

Le Corbusier recognised this limitation and understood that colour was the missing dimension. Recognising its spatial and associative power, he made colour an essential part of his architectural language. Not as decoration, but as a spatial tool, a medium to organise space, shape perception, and harmonise with natural light.

Through his Polychromie Architecturale, he demonstrated how tones could transform light, create depth, and alter the way space is perceived, turning colour into a true instrument of architectural emotion.

Guided by Le Corbusier’s vision, Studio Targhetta seeks that same missing dimensión, where colour gives depth to space and meaning to design.

Because interiors should be more than beautiful, they should be meaningful.
