The richness and variety of his work and his passionately expressed philosophy of architecture have had a gigantic impact on the urban fabric and the way we live.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWeaving through his long and prolific life are certain recurrent themes—his perennial drive towards new types of dwelling, from the early white villas to the Unité d'Habitation at Marseilles; his evolving concepts of urban form, including the Plan Voisin of 1925 with its cruciform towers imposed on the city of Paris and his work at Chandigarh in India; and his belief in a new technocratic order.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe distinguished critic and architecture historian Kenneth Frampton re-examines all the facets of his artistic and philosophical world-view in light of recent thinking, and presents us with a Le Corbusier for the 21st century. This revised edition features a new introduction; some illustrations have now been replaced with colour.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Thames and Hudson (Australia) Pty Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47424577241324,"sku":"9780500204887","price":44.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9780500204887.jpg?v=1774768360","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/le-corbusier-by-kenneth-frampton-9780500204887","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
