Le Corbusier & The Architeture of Reinvention Benton, Tim; Carl, Peter; Heynen, Hilde and Jencks, Charles Product Overview How, in a turbulent century, was Le Corbusier able to reinvent himself at least five times? How was he able to become the Picasso (or Duchamp) of architecture? How was he able to produce work in a regional Art Nouveau mode, then become a leader of the Modern Movement and International Style, then switch to primitive materials and Brutalism before pre-empting Post-Modernism through Ronchamp and Chandigarh, and pre-empting High-Tech and Complexity Architecture through the Centre Le Corbusier and the Philips Pavilion? How?’ This book brings together leading scholars to explore Le Corbusier’s tactics of self-reinvention, his relationship to the artistic avant-garde and his work as a multimedia practitioner. It also contains an English-language edition of Le Corbusier’s ‘Poème de l’Angle Droit’, complete with beautiful colour lithographs.
