Ле Корбюзье. Творческий путь (суперобложка)

Translator: J Rosenbaum Le Corbusier - one of the most famous architects of the twentieth century Reached fame thanks to his sharply expressive buildings in the modernist style, as well as his talent for writing and publicist Le Corbusier's book, offered to the reader, practically covers his entire life This is a kind of creative autobiography , in which the master, as it were, looks at himself from the outside. He even writes about himself in the third person and refers only to what he considers the most important and significant on the path traveled, shows the sequence of the emergence of architectural ideas, the evolution of views. Everyone will find in this book what looks for: thoughts, drawings, sketches of structures, photographs of completed buildings, topics of lectures given by Le Corbusier, and titles of his publications At first glance, the book seems fragmentary Its genre is peculiar: there is no that consistent literary narrative that we are used to Illustrations and cowpint texts freely and without compulsion are closely related to the author's intent The composition of the book leaves the reader many opportunities to develop their own thoughts, to actively accumulate a variety of material The book does not answer many of the burning problems that Corbusier makes you think about - this man is a legend of our time But it shows the range of his work, the breadth outlook and gives a vivid overview of what the master has done over seven decades of his life. This is already enough to recommend the book (it is printed with slight abridgements) to readers - both to those who have long and professionally studied the works of Le Corbusier, and to those who for the first time get the opportunity to get acquainted systematically with the work of this remarkable representative of the culture of the twentieth century Foreword by Maurice Jardeau Introductory article and scientific edition by Oshvidkovsky Author Charles Edouard Le Corbusier LE CORBUSIER (1887–1965), French architect, architectural theorist, artist, dvtfyiizainer Le Corbusier (real name - Charles Edouard Ja nere) was born in La Chaux-de-Fonds in Switzerland on October 6, 1887.
