Le Corbusier: The Complete Buildings

Le Corbusier: The Complete Buildings

This visual tour of every one of Le Corbusierâ€™s buildings across the world represents the most comprehensive photographic archive of the architectâ€™s work. In 2010, photographer Cemal Emden set out to document every building designed by the master architect Le Corbusier. Traveling through three continents, Emden photographed all the 52 buildings that remain standing. Each of these buildings is featured in the book and captured from multiple angles, with images revealing their exterior and interior details. Interspersed throughout the book are texts by leading architects and scholars, whose commentaries are as fascinating and varied as the buildings themselves. The book closes with an illustrated, annotated index. From the early Villa Vallet, built in Switzerland in 1905, to his groundbreaking UnitÃ© d'Habitation in Marseille, completed in 1947, this ambitious project presents the entirety and diversity of Le Corbusierâ€™s architectural output. Visually arresting and endlessly engaging, it will appeal to the architectâ€™s many fans, as well as anyone interested in the foundation of modern architecture.
