Le Corbusier: The Villa Savoye (Le Corbusier-Führer)
Editorial Reviews
Book Description
The Villa Savoye in Poissy near Paris is one of the most frequently visited of Le Corbusier's buildings. Simultaneously an assertion of classical values - the temple that surveys the surrounding landscape - and a paradigm of modern dwelling, it is the synthesis of the urban themes and architectural vocabulary developed by Le Corbusier throughout the 1920s. "Total purity", formal radicalism and innovative style have elevated it to the ranks of the most significant and symbolic works of 20th century residential architecture. Historical documents and drawings make this handy-sized volume an invaluable guide for visitors and a practical introduction for all architectural enthusiasts.
