Le Corbusier in print,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Le Corbusier, Architect of Books (Hardcover)
While this book would be a valuable addition to one's library on Le Corbusier, it doesn't shed any new light on Le Corbusier's passion for publishing. Ever since L'Esprit Nouveau, Le Corbusier worked actively to get his vision of a New Architecture in print. This was a journal he co-published with Amedee Ozenfant in 1920 that captured the spirit of the modern movement both in art and architecture. Towards a New Architecture became the seminal work of the Modern Movement, and the publishing of The Athens Charter, arrived at the second meeting of the Congres Internationaux d'Architecture Moderne or CIAM. provided an even clearer picture of how Le Corbusier envisioned modern architecture. He worked closely with Birkhauser Publishing Company of Germany to produce an ongoing monograph of his work, which eventually culminated in 8 volumes, that is highly valued by contemporary architects.
