Le Corbusier

Back in print, the spectacular visual biography of the life and work of Le Corbusier – one of the twentieth century’s most influential architects
 
‘Le Corbusier arguably had more of an influence on the form of the modern world than any other architect… You couldn’t make a book like this about just any architect. Beyond the architecture, it reveals a great deal about the man himself’ – Guardian
