Back in print, the spectacular visual biography of the life and work of Le Corbusier – one of the twentieth century’s most influential architects

‘Le Corbusier arguably had more of an influence on the form of the modern world than any other architect… You couldn’t make a book like this about just any architect. Beyond the architecture, it reveals a great deal about the man himself’ – Guardian

Almost two decades since its first publication, the bestselling and classic monograph Le Corbusier Le Grand is finally available again. Documenting the life and work of one of the giants of twentieth-century architecture and design, the book presents an array of sketches, photographs, and correspondences, charting the vast and varied output of Le Corbusier, an artist who continues to fascinate those inside and outside the architectural world. The survey features an introductory essay by the esteemed architectural historian and Le Corbusier expert Jean-Louis Cohen, to whom this edition is dedicated, and chapter introductions by another leading Le Corbusier scholar, Tim Benton.
