Product Description

Review

'The only piece of architectural writing that will be classed among the essential literature of the 20th century.' Reyner Banham


Product Description

In 'Vers une Architecture', published in 1923, Le Corbusier equates the pure forms of the machine with the pure forms of the Parthenon to illustrate his view of architecture as a question of mass rather than facades, and that machines are highly architectural. First published in English in 1927, it is the most influential architectural manifesto of modern times.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderfully written and illistrated, 12 Aug 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Towards a New Architecture (Paperback)
Le Corbousier's mathematical and, at times, brutal approach to architecture is clearly and coherently laid out in this gem of a book. He is very to the point and uses words and ideas that can plainly be understood by his audience. This book is not as bad as some people say it is - Le Corbousier's just not a romantic like the rest of us!
