The quest for a renewed ecological transition has led to the emergence of practices for reinterpreting the fundamental relationship between technology and architecture that are not at all different from those of the past. Indeed, contemporary experimentation seems to entrust technology itself with the task of producing design quality, which was already the basis of Le Corbusier's, as well as his initial intention to elevate construction technique to expressive poetic expression. It is thus necessary to question the conscious or accidental ways in which architectural composition establishes new syntactic relationships through the forms of sustainability. Therefore, this research intends to investigate the theme of the environment, not as a deductive result of engineering implementation, but as an architectural task. With the addition of systems for sunlight collection, thermal storage, primary energy production and indoor quality control, the project acquires a level of figurativeness that requires the definition of a new architectural grammar.
