Review: "Le Corbusier (1887-1965) is an icon of 20th-century architecture, his status a reflection of his capacity to endow architecture with an expression that evokes the spirit of the age. This book features some of Le Corbusier's most important European buildings, complemented by others that are less well-known. The photographs, taken sequentially by the author, and an introduction that brings together the architect's main ideas about each building provide a unique "walk through" of the master architect's great works."--BOOK JACKET.
