Book by William J.R. Curtis, Pulitzer Foundation For the Arts
William J. R. Curtis je historik architektúry, ktorého dielo sa zameriava na architektúru dvadsiateho storočia. Jeho písanie sa vyznačuje snahou rozšíriť tradičný „kánon“ o širšie spektrum architektov z celého sveta, čím ponúka komplexnejší pohľad na architektonické dejiny. Curtisov prístup zdôrazňuje globálnu perspektívu a medzinárodné dialógy v architektúre. Jeho rozsiahly výskum a kritické hodnotenie prispievajú k hlbšiemu pochopeniu moderných architektonických prúdov.




Book by William J.R. Curtis, Pulitzer Foundation For the Arts
Le Corbusier has been one of the dominant forces in 20th-century architecture, and many of the forms he created have become archetypes of modernism. This book provides a comprehensive survey that puts Le Corbusier's career into a more balanced perspective.
This is the established standard book for 20th Century architecture. While technical, economic, social and intellectual developments are fully treated, the final emphasis is on individuals and on the qualities that give outstanding buildings their lasting value. The third edition incorporates new knowledge and research with a greater emphasis on regional identity and variety. Three new chapters on recent developments have been added as well as an improved illustration count 350 4-C and 44 B/W.
