The Poem of the Right Angle (''Le Poeme de l'Angle Droit'') is a series of 19 paintings and corresponding writings composed by the influential Swiss architect Le Corbusier between 1947 and 1953. Aside from his seminal manifesto Toward an Architecture, The Poem of the Right Angle is considered to be his most lucid synthesis of personal maxims.〔Le Poeme de l'Angle Droit. Le Corbusier. Tokyo: GA Gallery, c1984.〕 ==Introduction== ''The Poem of the Right Angle'' was composed over a period of seven years, from 1947-1953. The paintings are arranged symmetrically in seven rows, or "zones" and read across, in order, 5, 3, 5, 1, 3, 1, 1 such that the entire composition appears top-heavy and cross-like. Corbusier referred to this organization as an ''iconostase'', or iconostasis. Each zone, lettered ''A-G'', is assigned a title and corresponding color. Le Corbusier was very interested in classic themes of alchemy, and each piece, as well as the significance of its placement in the color-coded sets, draws from and illuminates the dialectic of opposites inherent in alchemical processes.〔Moore, Richard A. ''Alchemical and Mythical Themes in the Poem of the Right Angle''. Oppositions (Winter 1980): 110-141. Cambridge : MIT Press for The Institute for Architecture and Urban Studies, 1980.〕
