Architecture with and Without Le Corbusier documents two architectural masterpieces: the Church at Firminy and The Miller House. The church is a late work by Le Corbusier that was left unfinished for 40 years. Jose Oubrerie, a protege of the great master who had worked on the project from its inception, completed and built the canonical work, adapting it to current needs and standards while respecting the integrity of the original design. The Miller House, Oubrerie's own late masterpiece from the 90s, is a landmark in Lexington where the architect devotes his mature years to academic leadership at the University of Kentucky. It is firmly on its way to securing a permanent place in the modernist canon. The thorough documentation of the two buildings with an extensive collection of previously unpublished drawings, documents and photographs builds a precise and vivid testimony of Oubrerie's unique architectural trajectory with Le Corbusier's formidable legacy as a formative and creative influence. The two seminal works, presented side by side with commentary by George Ranalli and Kenneth Frampton yield insight into the evolution and current resonance of modernist architecture in a story that spans two worlds and two distinguished careers.

The work of the faculty of the Bernard and Anne Spitzer School of Architecture represents the perfect blend of rigorous academic ideas and practical application of these theories within the public realm. This book and the accompanying exhibition are the products of the faculty's professional work: vibrant, intellectually rich, professionally accomplished, and theoretically inclined. Architects who teach utilize the academy as a laboratory for their ideas based on experience garnered from practice. Specific ideas in some of the built and unbuilt works appear as studio projects where they can be explored more fully, often unencumbered by the practical realities of clients, budgets, and programs. The school is a perfect setting for the architect working in the field who brings professional acumen to the rarified experiments of the academic studio.
