Wokinham, Berkshire, UK: Van Nostrand Reinhold, 1984. 1st edition, NF/NF. Book and dust jacket have some wear to spine ends, upper corners & scattered edges, former company stamp & date on FFE. Hundreds of b & w drawings illustrate Le Corbusier's life & career (1887-1965). "In this handwritten book, Baker traces the development of Le Corbusier's organization of form. To explain the often bewildering complexities of Le Corbusier's work, Baker uses a three-dimentional diagrammatic method of analysis which shows how the various parts of buildings are related to each other and to the site. As in musical and literary analysis, the theme of a work is identified and related to supporting sub-themes. There is much more than that at work here. Nice copy, 277 pp. BP.
