Resumen
Le Corbusier symbolizes the modern rational urbanism, whose rigorous effort of town planning demands a parallel effort of comprehension. It opposes to these contemporary urbanism that wish to perceive and to enjoy cities in a sensible way. Nevertheless, sentiment and reason are not adverses and Le Corbusier gives us at his moment keys to intent a synthesis, joined them in a singular way by means of his ?boîtes à miracles? or ?magic boxes?: those "architectural spectacles of synthesis" that he defined in 1951 Ciam. Here we try to approach to the first of those ?spectacles?: the ?diorama?, considering it as a corbusean strategy of mediation between rational and sensible in modern and contemporary city.
