An expanded edition on the master of Modernism, Le Corbusier, by award-winning architectural historian William J. R. Curtis. Originally published in 1996 to critical fanfair, scholar William J.R. Curtis has re-issued his classic text with extensive new scholarship and contemporary research that continues the high standard of the original. Presented chronologically with a clear narrative, Curtis has worked tirelessly not only to document Le Corbusier´s key projects in detail but to contextualize them within the architect´s overarching philosophy of urbanism and art and the pervading culture of Le Corbusier´s time. With full access to the renowned Le Corbusier archive, Curtis´ text is lavishly illustrated with new photographs, plans and original sketches and a fresh new design. Praise for the first edition: "This is not only the best single work on Le Corbusier - a model of scholarship, erudite yet eminently readable - it is also an invaluable analysis of the creative architectural process. It should be read and re-read by every student of architecture." - Building Design "William J. R. Curtis is the best architectural historian writing in the English language." - Chicago Tribune
