An augmented edition for the master of Modernism, Le Corbusier, by the award-winning architectural historian William J. R. Curtis. Initially published in 1996 to critical acclaim, researcher William J. R. Curtis re-releases his classic text with extensive new research, maintaining the high standard of the original edition. Presented chronologically with clear narration, Curtis has worked tirelessly to meticulously document Le Corbusier's main works and place them within the overall philosophy of the architect concerning urban design and art as well as the timeless culture of Le Corbusier's era. Having full access to Le Corbusier's famous archive, Curtis's text is richly illustrated with new photographs, drawings, and original sketches and with a fresh new design.
Praise for the first edition: "This is not only the best single work on Le Corbusier - a model of scholarly work, erudite yet eminently readable - but also an invaluable analysis of the creative architectural process. It must be read and re-read by every architecture student." - Building Design "William J. R. Curtis is the best architectural historian writing in the English language." - Chicago Tribune
