Toward an architecture / Le Corbusier ; introduction by Jean-Louis Cohen ; translation by John Goodman
"A new translation by John Goodman with an introduction by the architectural historian Jean-Louis Cohen will allow architecture buffs to experience Le Corbusier's manifesto in its full glory. Three-quarters of a century after its publication, what strikes you most about the book is what it tells us about Le Corbusier's intellectual range, from a passionate defense of the values of American industrial production to a piercing analysis of ancient Greek and Byzantine architecture." from New York Times, December 7, 2007: |
