Maggiori informazioni sul libro
The villas of the 1920s in and around Paris, including iconic designs like Villa La Roche-Jeanneret, Villa Stein-de Monzie, and Villa Savoye, represent a groundbreaking shift in architecture that continues to influence generations of architects. This essential work, previously out of print, explores the design processes behind these modernist landmarks, detailing everything from initial concepts to the completion of the homes. It examines the relationship between the ideals of modern architecture and its practical realities, allowing readers to rediscover Le Corbusier beyond his legendary status. The relevance of his work is highlighted by the exhibition “Le Corbusier: The Art of Architecture,” organized by the Vitra Design Museum in collaboration with leading architectural institutions. Tim Benton, a prominent expert on Le Corbusier and a significant figure in art history, teaches at the Open University, the largest university in Great Britain. This book provides a fresh perspective on the architect's contributions, emphasizing the continued significance of his designs in contemporary discourse.
