A revised and updated edition of a bestselling introduction on one
of the leading architects of the 20th century. Le Corbusier is
probably the most famous architect of the 20th century. The
richness and variety of his work and his passionately expressed
philosophy of architecture have had a gigantic impact on the urban
fabric and the way we live. Weaving through his long and prolific
life are certain recurrent themes – his perennial drive towards
new types of dwelling, from the early white villas to the Unité
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 re-examines all the facets
of his artistic and philosophical world-view in light of recent
thinking, and presents us with a Le Corbusier for the 21st century.
This revised edition features a new introduction; some
illustrations have now been replaced with colour.
