“Poco diré de la singular “historia de la eternidad” que da nombre a estas páginas. En el principio hablo de la filosofía platónica; en un trabajo que aspiraba al rigor cronológico, más razonable hubiera sido partir de los hexámetros de Parménides (“no ha sido nunca ni será, porque ahora es”). No sé cómo pude comparar a “inmóviles piezas de museo” las formas de Platón y cómo no sentí, leyendo a Escoto Erígena y a Schopenhauer, que éstas son vivas, poderosas y orgánicas. Entendí que sin tiempo no hay movimiento (ocupación de lugares distintos en momentos distintos); no entendí que tampoco puede haber inmovilidad (ocupación de un mismo lugar en momentos distintos).”

France has one of the most important architectural traditions in Europe, with periods of great splendor such as Gothic, Classicism or Rococo, which have given rise to styles of French origin widely spread throughout the world.
France has been a pioneer in the protection of architectural heritage and has the largest world heritage after Italy, with 44,236 properties declared historical monuments (year 2012) and 13 buildings individually declared a World Heritage Site.
The monumental heritage of Marseille is as great as it is unknown. Entire neighborhoods such as Le Panier, the Vieux Port or the avenue de la Canebière; buildings such as the ever-present basilica of Notre Dame de la Garde that dominates the city, the fort of Saint-Nicolas, the Château de St Jean, the cathedral La Majeur; Museums such as those housed in the Palais de Longchamp or the Charité are just a sample of what Marseille has, hides and conceals.

Due to the destruction in France, in the post-war period an alternative is presented: check and try to change the urban scheme and the distribution of residential areas, in relation to the sources of work, anticipating inconveniences; or continue with the current planning and distribution, technically correcting the problems found. In 1944, the Ministry of Reconstruction and Urban Development was organized, which deals with both urban and rural planning and subsidized construction.
For Le Corbusier, the end of the war meant “the starting point for the full-throttle start of the reconstruction of Europe. [“There are ruins, fallen stones, frustrated ideas. The universal forge is working at full speed. It is necessary to give him work! We must create the elements, the tools of happiness, the equipment for a modern world!”] – Le Corbusier.
Le Corbusier marked a magnificent milestone in modern architecture, master of rationalist architecture; who defined architecture as “the wise, correct and magnificent game of volumes assembled under light…; cubes, cones, spheres, cylinders and pyramids are the great primary figures that light shapes
