Description
Charles-Édouard Jeanneret, better known as Le Corbusier, was a 20th-century architect whose radical ideas transformed modern living. His work spanned from private villas to mass social housing projects, showcasing a whole-scale reinvention of individual structures and entire concepts of modern living. Le Corbusier's designs combined functionalist aspirations with expressionism, while also demonstrating a broader understanding of urban planning. Notable projects include his chapel at Ronchamp and civic buildings in Chandigarh, India. This book presents some of Le Corbusier's landmark projects, offering insight into an architect who championed "architecture as a social art" through the Congrès international d'architecture moderne (CIAM).
