FREE UPGRADE to Courier/Priority Shipping Upon Request - IN STOCK AND IMMEDIATELY AVAILABLE FOR SHIPMENT - Flawless copy brand new pristine never opened -- 208 pp. ; 74 illus. -- with a bonus offer--; The mastermind behind what he termed beautiful and functional âmachines for livingâ Le Corbusier has long been recognized as one of the foremost figures in the international style of architecture. Yet beginning in the 1940s the famed architect and urbanist increasingly took modernism in a new direction that has until now been insufficiently consideredâand little understood. Â Dispensing with his trademark suit and bowtie Le Corbusier was spending increasing amounts of time at the shore in the 1940s collecting stones shells and other jetsam and enjoying the works of the philosopher and ardent shell collector Paul Valéry. And it was here that the seemingly hyper-rational architect developed a revolutionary new theory of design built around these polished and splintered shapes. Stating that nature was the source of his inspiration Le Corbusier embarked on a meandering odyssey through the literature and esoteric writings of his day going on to produce such unorthodox projects as Chandigarhâs Palace of Assembly and the strange and beautiful Ronchamp Chapel in Paris whose roof is said to have been modeled after an inverted crabâs shell. Â The development of Le Corbusierâs new approach not only changed modernism but also inspiredâand continues to inspireânew shapes and lines in the work of a host of architects. In this superbly written and accessible piece of architectural history Maak develops the intricate story of a breakthrough in architecture that began on a beach. . 2011. 3777439916 .

1981réf. 2042188Architectural History Foundation 1981. Hardcover. Very Good/Very Good. Volume I only. Oblong 4to. Cloth dj. Jacket spine faintly sunned; some light rubbing and scuffing. Minor age-toning to edges of text block. Else fine. A very nice copy; internals are otherwise bright and clean. Le Corbusier's buildings and writings are widely considered the most important testimony of twentieth-century architecture. No estimate of his genius and influence can be made without reference to the sketchbooks that he carried with him nearly everywhere throughout his life. He jotted down everything that caught his interest buildings people pictures ideas projects objects. When pondering a new project Le Corbusier often referred to these notations even those made years before. The travel sketchbooks were a perennial source of stimulation to his imagination. Le Corbusier carefully preserved these documents and selected a special group of them for eventual publication. His heirs the Fondation Le Corbusier in Paris have zealously protected them; but for two decades they have been available only to those scholars able to examine them in the Paris vault. Now however the Architectural History Foundation and The MIT Press have jointly undertaken to publish all seventy-three sketchbooks selected by the master in a series of four volumes of which this is the first. The publication has been edited by a committee of Le Corbusier scholars. Timothy Benton H. Allan Brooks Bal Krishna V. Doshi Norma Evenson Stanislaus von Moos Francesco Passanti Madhu Sarin Peter Serenyi and Jerzy Soltan. This first volume covering the period 1914-1948 includes drawings from the architect's training notes on his life in Paris and his first recorded thoughts and subsequent ideas on city planning sketches from a Zeppelin trip to South America his own critique of his Villa Savoie the conception of the Unite d'habitation for Marseilles writings on his Pessac housing project the evolution of the Voisin Plan and his evaluation of Villa Mandrot often cited as the turning point in his architectural style.
