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. But he was also a social visionary and a writer of polemics, whose ideas have generated intense and partisan controversy. Now fully updated with new scholarship and contemporary research, 'Le Corbusier: Ideas and forms' provides a comprehensive and unbiased survey that puts Le Corbusier in a balanced perspective and analyses his work from a contemporary context.
