Towards a New Architecture
by Le Corbusier       
(Paperback - English - 9780486250236)
For the Swiss-born architect and city planner Le Corbusier (Charles- douard Jeanneret, 1887-1965), architecture constituted a noble art, an exalted calling in which the architect combined plastic invention, intellectual speculation, and higher mathematics to go beyond mere utilitarian needs, beyond style, to achieve a pure creation of the spirit which established emotional relationships by means of raw materials. br The first major exposition of his ideas appeared in Vers une Architecture (1923), a compilation of articles originally written by Le Corbusier for his own avant-garde magazine, L'Esprit Nouveau . The present volume is an unabridged English translat ..

Towards a New Architecture
by Le Corbusier       
(Paperback - English - 9781614276050)
2014 Reprint of 1927 Edition. Full facsimile of the original edition, not reproduced with Optical Recognition Software. This classic work is a collection of essays written by Le Corbusier advocating for and exploring the concept of modern architecture. The book has had a lasting effect on the architectural profession, serving as the manifesto for a generation of architects, a subject of hatred for others, and unquestionably a critical piece of architectural theory. The architectural historian Reyner Banham once claimed that its influence was unquestionably "beyond that of any other architectural work published in this 20th] century to date". That unparalleled i ..

The City of Tomorrow and Its Planning
by Le Corbusier    Etchells, Frederick   
(Paperback - English - 9780486253329)
In this 1929 classic, the great architect Le Corbusier turned from the design of houses to the planning of cities, surveying urban problems and venturing bold new solutions. The book shocked and thrilled a world already deep in the throes of the modern age. br Today it is revered as a work that, quite literally, helped to shape our world. Le Corbusier articulates concepts and ideas he would put to work in his city planning schemes for Algiers, S o Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, Buenos Aires, Barcelona, Geneva, Stockholm, and Antwerp, as well as schemes for a variety of structures from a museum in Tokyo to the United Nations buildings. The influence it exerted on a new g ..

Le Corbusier & Pierre Jeanneret: Chandigarh, India
by Le Corbusier    Jeanneret, Pierre    Seguin, Patrick
(Hardcover - English - 9782909187075)
This beautiful, comprehensive volume documents Le Corbusier and Pierre Jeanneret's massive Chandigarh project--the buildings and the furniture (today considered masterpieces of twentieth-century architecture and design), the plans, sketches and maquettes as well as reproducing both archival and contemporary photographs. In 1947, shortly after India gained independence, the Indian Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru initiated a vast plan of modernization throughout the country, during which Chandigarh became the administrative capital of the Punjab province. Nehru commissioned Le Corbusier and Pierre Jeanneret to construct this capital from scratch, with the sole ins ..

Le Corbusier: Unité d'Habitation, Typ Berlin: Construction and Context
by Le Corbusier    Högner, Bärbel   
(Paperback - English - 9783868595635)
Built between 1957 and 1958, Le Corbusier's Unit d'habitation in Berlin stands as an exceptional work of postwar architecture in Berlin. Although it follows the basic concept of a "vertical village" as envisioned by the architect, the gigantic block, containing 530 apartments, clearly differs from the Marseille original. However, as a result of modifications required by the client, the construction occupies the position of an outsider in Le Corbusier's oeuvre. Authors from the fields of architecture, urbanism, art history and cultural studies precisely set out the genesis of the listed building for the first time. In addition, they investigate the development o ..

Le Corbusier: 5 × Unité d'Habitation: Marseille, Rezé, Berlin, Briey-En-Forêt, Firminy
by Le Corbusier    Ottmann, Peter    König, Anne
(Hardcover - English - 9783959053013)
Between 1945 and 1967, Le Corbusier (1887-1965) planned and built five "Unit s d'habitation" in Marseille, Rez , Berlin, Briey-en-For t and Firminy. Due to an acute shortage of housing after the war, he developed a new type of building--multifunctional blocks of flats that combined a large number of apartments on a small plot. These buildings included a roof landscape, as well as such urban structures as schools, cinemas, pharmacies and grocery stores. Le Corbusier's revolutionary idea of a vertical city offered novel solutions to urban planning issues and social, aesthetic and structural challenges. The five Unit s, now in various states of repair, have been p ..

Le Corbusier: Poésie Sur Alger
by Le Corbusier    Cantone, Cleo    Le Corbusier
(Paperback - English - 9783775740968)
Le Corbusier's (1887-1965) Po sie sur Alger , written in 1942 and first published in 1950, is a self-mocking examination of 13 intensive years of ultimately abortive work, during which Le Corbusier devoted himself to the drawing up of extensive urban plans for Algiers. Numerous additional plans followed on his first trip to Algeria in 1931. The architect dreamed of installing Algiers as the southernmost point of the cultural connection between the littoral states of the Mediterranean, between Paris, Barcelona and Rome--as an "Islamic pole," as he called it. The decision to publish his very personal and self-illustrated thoughts on a "plan directeur" for Algiers ..

Le Corbusier's Secret Laboratory: From Painting to Architecture
by Le Corbusier    Cohen, Jean-Louis    Ahrenberg, Staffan
(Hardcover - English - 9783775735681)
Charles- douard Jeanneret, known as Le Corbusier, had an unparalleled influence on the design, function and construction of twentieth-century buildings, both public and residential. In addition, he was an artist and designer--an aspect of his creativity which was somewhat eclipsed by his architectural renown. Le Corbusier had originally intended to be a painter and his early studies were primarily focused on art and decoration. For more than five decades, Le Corbusier oscillated between contradictory poles: his fascination with mechanical objects on the one hand, and his search for poetic form on the other. The intermingling of his more private aesthetic pursuit ..

Journey to the East
by Le Corbusier    Zaknic, Ivan   
(Paperback - English - 9780262622103)
Available again after many years, the legendary travel diary kept by the young Le Corbusier on his journey through the Balkans in 1911. This is the legendary travel diary that the twenty-four-year-old Charles- douard Jeanneret (Le Corbusier) kept during his formative journey through Southern, Central, and Eastern Europe in 1911. In a flood of highly personal impressions and visual notations, it records his first contact with the vernacular architecture that would preoccupy him for the rest of his life and his first sight of the monuments he most admired: the mosque complexes, the Acropolis, and the Parthenon. Le Corbusier himself suppressed publication of this b ..
