Le Corbusier is recognised as one of the most significant figures in contemporary architecture and town-planning, both as a practitioner and as a thinker. His ideas, which go to the root of the vital architectural problems of today, have been embodied in a number of books, the earlier of which have achieved world-wide circulation and have influenced architectural thought everywhere.
This is Le Corbusier's most important post-war book, translated for the first time from the original French. The text, which takes the form of Le Corbusiers answers to a series of provocative questions, discourses on town planning principles as exemplified in past and present practice and explains what the science of town-planning could do for the modern world. It is illustrated by over 60 drawings - mostly full page-by the author in his well-known style. Very Good / Very Good. Item #3484
