Description
Toward an Architecture by Le Corbusier has had a lasting impact on architects and remains a foundational text for students and professionals. Published in 1923, it challenged traditional views of architecture, instead urging readers to consider the modern world. This edition features a new translation of the original text, accompanied by a scholarly introduction and background notes that provide context and illuminate the text and illustrations. Le Corbusier's ideas on the relationship between architecture, technology, and history were influential in his time, with slogans such as "the house is a machine for living in" changing how architects thought about their work. This book offers insight into the architect's philosophy and its enduring relevance today. A new translation of Toward an Architecture makes this important text accessible to readers who want to understand the development of modern architecture.
