Synopsis

Some forty years after his death Le Corbusier remains one of the most influential of architects, the most famous of the Modernists whose name is familiar all over the world. He was a tireless worker, a furious writer, who never missed an opportunity to test his ideas. He was seventeen when he built his first house and continued building until he died. He was severely criticised but never gave up because he had a clear vision of what he wanted to achieve: a vision of a rapidly evolving new society, the machine age. This introduction to the architecture and ideas of Le Corbusier for children of ten and over; it will fascinate architecture-minded adults too, brings to life the man, the architect, his work and the world in which he lived.
