Passage: Post 123 · hours during Sołtan’s four years at the atelier
Timing & context
Sołtan recalls a strict 14:00 arrival and a variable finish around 19:00. Currey instead reports being home by 17:30; this calendar follows the period-specific eyewitness account.
Combines Sołtan’s memoir, Currey’s account and Le Corbusier’s own words. Morning-work and dinner positions are illustrative; gaps remain undocumented.
1948 represents Sołtan’s 1945–1949 collaboration and is also the year of Le Corbusier’s published account of his painting mornings.
