Born Charles-Édouard Jeanneret, Le Corbusier (1887–1965) is widely acclaimed as the most influential architect of the 20th century. From private villas to mass social housing projects, his radical ideas, designs, and writings presented a whole-scale reinvention not only of individual structures, but of entire concepts of modern living.
Le Corbusier’s work made distinct developments over the years, from early vernacular houses in Switzerland through dazzling white, purist villas to dynamic syntheses of art and architecture such as the chapel at Ronchamp and the civic buildings in Chandigarh, India. A hallmark throughout was his ability to combine functionalist aspirations with a strong sense of expressionism, as well as a broader and empathetic understanding of urban planning. He was a founding member of the Congrès international d’architecture moderne (CIAM), which championed “architecture as a social art.”
This book presents some of Le Corbusier’s landmark projects to introduce an architect, thinker, and modern pioneer who, even in his unrealized projects, offered discussion and inspiration for generations to come.

En 1997, le ministère français de la Culture a chargé Jean-Louis Cohen de créer la Cité de l’architecture qui regroupe un musée, un centre de recherches et un espace d’exposition au Palais de Chaillot, à Paris. II a notamment étudié les cultures architecturales allemande et soviétique et interprété en profondeur l’oeuvre de Le Corbusier et l’histoire de l’urbanisme à Paris. Cohen est l’auteur de plusieurs livres d’architecture et a été le conservateur de plusieurs expositions.
