The richness and variety of his work and his passionately expressed philosophy of architecture have had a gigantic impact on the urban fabric and the way we live. Weaving through his long and prolific life are certain recurrent themes - his perennial drive towards new types of dwelling, from the early white villas to the Unite d'Habitation at Marseilles; his evolving concepts of urban form, including the Plan Vision of 1925 with its cruciform towers imposed on the city of Paris and his work at Chandigarh in India; and his belief in a new technocratic order. The distinguished critic and historian Kenneth Frampton re-examines all these facets of his artistic and philosophical world-view in light of recent thinking, and presents us with a Le Corbusier for the 21st century." -- Le Corbusier Criticism and Interpretation. 123980 Local Architecture Modern 54081 Local Architecture 20th century 54081 Local Architects 54076 Biography France Architecture 54081 France lcc 27 NA1053.J4 General F69 2001 217306 217306 0 0 lcc 0 0 4 4 33 2009-09-08 amazon 11.66 450441 1 General NA1053.J4 F69 2001 91000000005801 2019-11-27 00:00:00 2018-01-09 1 21.66 2009-09-08 27
