Book Description
Widely regarded as the greatest architect of the 20th century, the Swiss-born Le Corbusier (1887-1965) left an indelible mark on modern building design and city planning. Here celebrated architectural photographer Roberto Schezen joins with Columbia University architectural historian Kenneth Frampton-one of the world's foremost experts on modern architecture and on Le Corbusier-to bring us the most authoritative and visually enthralling exploration of Le Corbusier's greatest buildings.

From the Chapel of Ronchamp in Nôtre Dame du Haut, France, and the Unité d'habitation in Marseille, to the city of Chandigarh in India and the Carpenter Arts Center at Harvard University, these triumphs of modern architecture -shown in more than 100 newly commissioned photographs supplemented by the architect's own original measured drawings and sketches-provide a glowing tribute to the audacious spirit, bold, functional expressionism, and boundless imagination that are Le Corbusier's enduring legacy and the hallmarks of his genius.
