This is the first book to give such close attention to Le
Corbusier's approach to the making of buildings. It illustrates the
ways in which Le Corbusier's details were expressive of his overall
philosophical intentions. It is not a construction book in the
usual sense- rather it focusses on the meaning of detail, on the
ways in which detail informs the overall architectural narrative of
a building. Well illustrated and containing several specially
prepared scaled drawings it acts as timely reminder to both
students and architects of the possibilities inherent in the most
small scale tectonic gestures.
* Lavishly illustrated, with numerous in depth studies this book
will be an inspiration to both students and architects
* This is the first book to illustrate Le Corbusier's philosophies
through his use of detail
* So innovative was Le Corbusier's approach to design and so
influential has he been on the current generation of architects
that his work remains as relevant today as it ever did
