Bruno Reichlin ranks among the world's most distinguished
architectural theorists. His occupation with protagonists of
20th-century architecture - such as Eileen Gray, Ludwig Mies van
der Rohe, Philip Johnson and, above all, Le Corbusier - and their
work is guided by a method that looks at the characteristics of a
building as well as at its theoretical foundations. Reichlin's
writings and his own built work as a practicing architect is marked
by a deep understanding for how buildings materialise signs and
symbols and by a referential framework that includes also
literature, film and visual art. This book collects Reichlin's 13
essays on Le Corbusier, written over the period of four decades.
Taking as examples the villas La Roche, Mandrot, and Savoye;
Harvard University's Carpenter Center for Visual Arts; the Petite
Maison on Lake Geneva; and the project for a hospital in Venice, he
explores aspects of Le Corbusier's creativity to reveal underlying
principles and their manifestation in the realised buildings. Rich
archival materials as well as analytical plans and diagrams round
out the volume. Text in French.
