A definitive, behind-the-scenes account of the design and development of Le Corbusierâs only building in the United States. Eduard Seklerâ"who later became the center's first directorâ"and architectural critic William J. R. Curtis detail the complete evolution of the project, from early sketches in Le Corbusier's Paris studio to the building's completion.
