Charlotte Perriand

The show is fully in line with the guiding theme of this year's programme: a profound reinterpretation of architecture as a living space, language and way of situating ourselves in the world. In this sense, Perriand is an essential figure. She was one of the few women who managed to enter the great temple of modern architectural and urban creation: Atelier Le Corbusier, and she did so not as a silent assistant, but as a creator with her own voice, capable of transforming the logic of modern design. From those early years, she championed a key idea that art, architecture and design are inseparable, a synthesis capable of transforming the way we live and a principle resonating naturally with the Fundació Joan Miró, where architecture and creation are conceived as a unified experience.
