内容简介
······

Le Corbusier (1887 — 1965) has been one of the dominant forces in twentieth-century architecture, and many of the forms he created have become archetypes of Modernism. He was also a social visionary and a writer of polemics, whose ideas have generated intense and partisan controversy. This highly acclaimed book provides a comprehensive and objective survey that puts Le Corbusier's career in a more balanced perspective. Making full use of the Le Corbusier archive, the author documents individual projects in detail while linking the imaginative activities of the artist to his philosophy of life, to his urban visions, to his art and to the cultural predicaments of his times.

【review】

From Library Journal

This thorough review of Le Corbusier (1887-1965), an inescapable force in 20th-century architecture, draws on masses of documentation now available and on a close viewing of the buildings themselves. Curtis has published several works on the architect, and this is a largely successful overview of the entire oeuvre , linking Le Corbusier's ideas and philosophy to the buildings. It is a carefully considered book, based on extensive thought and study of the vast documentation, addressed to the advanced student of modernism. Though the text at times is dense, the structure of the book is very clear and the design and layout are thoughtful and sympathetic. Highly recommended. Jack Perry Brown, Art Inst. of Chicago Libs.

其他書上講的太淺顯解釋不夠的內容這本書上都會很清楚的寫出來，研究corbusier老頭一輩子的那麼多archi theories非常有用

放假集中读完了，Curtis有自己的主线，而作为建筑师也有不同的企图。但最后的收获确是一些不同于建筑的东西。之前和朋友聊天，他提到听过某位教授说我们不应也无法向这些伟大的建筑师学习，因为他们独特的思维方式，过高的天赋以及最终个人化的表达都是我们一生难以企及的，而通过描摹来学习他们则完全是误解了他们作品中最为动人的价值。因此这本书的意义在于他的着眼点，理论为线索，但总能感觉到核心是人生。作者不时夹杂…
