In this monograph, the author approaches Le Corbusier from a new
and unconventional angle. He analyses Le Corbusier's designs to
reveal the geometric structures which give each building its unique
sense of harmony. Through informative texts and fascinating
drawings, the relationship between the rational, constructive and
intuitive dimensions in his architecture emerges. Beginning with Le
Corbusier's early works and moving chronologically to the icons of
the late years - the Chapel at Ronchamp, the Convent of La Tourette
- we see two distinct poles: the experimental white buildings
around Paris, the epitome of which is the Villa Savoye, and by
contrast, the almost mystical monumental buildings in India where
Le Corbusier devoted his later years to building the government
complex in Chandigarh. Richly illustrated with many unpublished
photographs, this book demonstrates how Le Corbusier came to be
"one of those rare individuals who succeed in investing their
creations with a universal tone." William Curtis
