Description

An expanded edition on the master of Modernism, Le Corbusier, by award-winning architectural historian William J.

R. Curtis. Originally published in 1996 to critical fanfair, scholar William J.R.

Curtis has re-issued his classic text with extensive new scholarship and contemporary research that continues the high standard of the original.

Presented chronologically with a clear narrative, Curtis has worked tirelessly not only to document Le Corbusier's key projects in detail but to contextualize them within the architect's overarching philosophy of urbanism and art and the pervading culture of Le Corbusier's time.

With full access to the renowned Le Corbusier archive, Curtis' text is lavishly illustrated with new photographs, plans and original sketches and a fresh new design. Praise for the first edition:"This is not only the best single work on Le Corbusier - a model of scholarship, erudite yet eminently readable - it is also an invaluable analysis of the creative architectural process.

It should be read and re-read by every student of architecture." - Building Design"William J.

R. Curtis is the best architectural historian writing in the English language." - Chicago Tribune
