Le Corbusier is probably the most famous and certainly the most
controversial architect of the twentieth century. His impact on the
urban fabric around us and on the way we live has been gigantic
because of the richness and variety of his work and his
passionately expressed philosophy of architecture.
Weaving through his long and prolific life are certain recurrent
themes -- his perennial drive toward new types of dwelling, from
the early white villas to the Unite d'Habitation at Marseille; 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 historian Kenneth Frampton reexamines
all these facets of his artistic and philosophical worldview in the
light of recent discoveries, and presents us with a Le Corbusier
for the twenty-first century.
