Abstract

In the architectures of Perret, characterized by the use of reinforced concrete, the relationship between form and construction is very close. A system of coherence between constructive system and architecture, between form and construction, characterizes his work. For Perret "an architecture that does not come from a constructive system is nothing but fashion." His architectures and the forms adopted are coherent with the chosen construction system, in which it is evident not only the practical purpose but also the representative one. Some interesting and coherent researches are based on the correspondence between the constructive system and the formal-representative system that highlights the character and appropriateness of the building with respect to the theme. Techniques and construction also impose on the form some necessary limits that free the architectural invention.
