Synopsis
How, in a turbulent century, was Le Corbusier able to reinvent himself at least five times? How was he able to become the Picasso (or Duchamp) of architecture? How was he able to produce work in a regional Art Nouveau mode, then become a leader of the Modern Movement and International Style, then switch to primitive materials and Brutalism before pre-empting Post-Modernism through Ronchamp and Chandigarh, and pre-empting High-Tech and Complexity Architecture through the Centre Le Corbusier and the Philips Pavilion? How?' This book brings together leading scholars to explore Le Corbusier's tactics of self-reinvention, his relationship to the artistic avant-garde and his work as a multimedia practitioner. It also contains an English-language edition of Le Corbusier's 'Poème de l'Angle Droit', complete with beautiful colour lithographs.

Soft cover. Condition: New. 176 pages : illustrations (some colour) ; 22 cm. Charles-Edouard Jeanneret set about the task of reinventing everything he had touched, from himself to architecture. Famously, he began with his own name. His resonant pseudonym, Le Corbusier, meant 'crow-like', and he spent most of his career observing the wide horizon of worldwide developments.
