Jean-Louis Cohen is the Sheldon H. Solow Chair in the History of Architecture at New York University’s Institute of Fine Arts. He has written extensively on Le Corbusier’s work. John Goodman is a translator and art historian. He has rendered some thirty books from French into English.
“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.”—The New York Times
Chosen as a Favorite Book of 2007 by the Art and Architecture Critics of The New York Times
“If modern architecture has a bible, it is Vers une Architecture.”—Dwell
“Bursting with passion, wit and aphorisms . . . this seminal polemic is well worth reading (or rereading) for Le Corbusier’s incisive analysis of early 20th Century architecture . . . Jean-Louis Cohen’s scholarly introduction sheds fresh light on what exactly Le Corbusier was up to when he justaposed pictures of the Parthenon and modern roadsters on the book’s lively pages.”—Chicago Tribune
"The restoration of missing passages, of Le Corbusier’s idiosyncratic use of language, of key terms, of typography, and even of the original title is refreshing and timely."—Artforum
