Le Corbusier's development was inextricably connected to the rise
of the century's most popular visual medium: photography. Marking
the 125th anniversary of the architect's birth in La
Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland, this remarkable book traces the many
ways in which he used photography to define and disseminate his
work and ideas around the world. This unique portrait presents the
architect and his work in six chapters, each by an expert in a
particular facet of Le Corbusier's work: a photographic biography;
his secret travel photographs; the ways in which the architect used
photography for promotion; an examination of his approach to the
printed page; an overview of his use of large-scale imagery in his
buildings and exhibitions; and contemporary photographic
interpretations of his work. Because Le Corbusier's buildings are
usually shown in a documentary manner, the candid, personal,
artistic and often unexpected images that appear in this volume
offer new insights and ways to appreciate the facets of the man
behind his works.
