Description: Title: Toward an Architecture Author: Le Corbusier Publisher: Getty Research Institute Binding: Paperback Pages: 358 Dimensions: 9.90h x 7.00w x 1.30d Product Weight: 2.55 lbs. Language: English ISBN: 9780892368228 Published in 1923, Toward an Architecture had an immediate impact on architects throughout Europe and remains a foundational text for students and professionals. Le Corbusier urges readers to cease thinking of architecture as a matter of historical styles and instead open their eyes to the modern world. Simultaneously a historian, critic, and prophet, he provocatively juxtaposes views of classical Greece and Renaissance Rome with images of airplanes, cars, and ocean liners. Le Corbusier's slogans--such as "the house is a machine for living in"--and philosophy changed how his contemporaries saw the relationship between architecture, technology, and history. This edition includes a new translation of the original text, a scholarly introduction, and background notes that illuminate the text and illustrations. Ships Fast From The USA! Authorized Dealer
