Le Corbusier by Stephen Gardiner
Le Corbusier by Stephen Gardineris a 135-page softcover published by The Viking Press, New York, 1974. The cover has surface rubbing. Inside, the glue holding the front cover to the binding is dry but the pages are clean and unmarked and bound tightly despite the cover. Book Summary Le Corbusier, considered by many to be the greatest architect of the twentieth entury, has remained in a number of ways an enigma. His work--thanks not only to the buildings themselves but to his books and writings about architecture--has been deeply influential for several generations, yet much of his influence is misapplied and many of his ideas are misunderstood and misappropriated. In an eloquent and enthusiastic introduction to the master's work, Stephen Gardiner elucidates the elements that gave Le Corbusier's buildings such originality and power. ISBN: 0-670-01985-2
