The poché architectural invariant - This paper attempts to summarise the Poché architectural invariant by means of a few crucial steps, focusing particularly on its use in Le Corbusier’s composition poetics. Although short, this discussion offers the chance to rediscover some of the properties that the Poché invariant activates in architectural composition such as interference, hybridation and deformation. They are properties which thanks to the later theoretical support of Venturi and Rowe, should be of interest for an analytical and critical reading of some contemporary design projects, the most structured of which would seem to a theoretical revisiting of Eisenman.
