Sont nommées "merveilles" toutes les oeuvres architecturales et artistiques qui étaient considérées comme extraordinaires à l'époque antique. Cela veut dire : - des dimensions spectaculaires par rapport aux édifices connus - c'est remarquable (voire "fou") par rapport aux méthodologies de construction rudimentaires utilisées pour les réaliser face aux technologies actuelles. Parfois, c'est à se demander comment ils ont réussi à édifier tout ça !

Après les horreurs de la Seconde Guerre mondiale, Le Corbusier à repensé entièrement la notion de «civilisation machiniste» qui avait été au cœur de sa pensée et de son œuvre dans les années 1920 et 1930. Pour lui, la guerre avait prouvé que la machine pouvait se retourner contre l’homme et contre la civilisation.
