LE CORBUSIER - KENNETH FRAMPTON KARTONIERT (TB)

A revised and updated edition of a bestselling introduction to Le Corbusier  one of the leading
architects of the twentieth century. Le Corbusier is one of the most famous architects of the
twentieth century. The richness and variety of his work combined with his passionately
expressed philosophy of architecture have had an immense impact on the urban fabric and the way
we live. Weaving through his long and prolific life are certain recurrent themes -- his
perennial drive toward new types of dwelling  such as the early white villas to the Unitâe
d'Habitation at Marseilles  his evolving concepts of urban form  including the Plan Voisin of
1925 with its cruciform towers imposed on the city of Paris and his work at Chandigarh in India
and his belief in a new technocratic order. The distinguished critic and architecture historian
Kenneth Frampton reexamines all facets of the architect's artistic and philosophical worldview
in light of recent thinking and presents us with a Le Corbusier whose work is still relevant
for the twenty-first century. This second edition of Le Corbusier features a new introduction
and color illustrations.
