"Set within an insightful analysis, this book describes the genesis, ideas and ideologies which influenced Le Construction des Villes by Le Corbusier. This volume makes the important theoretical work available for the first time in English, offering an interpretation as to how much and in what way his 'essai' may have influenced his later work. Dealing with questions of aesthetic urbanism, Le Construction des Villes shows Le Corbusier's intellectual influences in the field of urbanism. Discontent that the script was not sufficiently avant-garde, it was abandoned in the 20th century. It was only in the late 1970s that American historian H. Allen Brooks, discovered 250 pages of the forgotten manuscript in Switzerland. The author of this book, Christoph Schnoor, later discovered another 350 handwritten pages of the original manuscript, consisting of extracts, chapters, and bibliographic notes. This splendid find enabled the re-establishment of the manuscript as Le Corbusier had abandoned it, unfinished, in the spring of 1911. This volume offers an unbiased extension of our knowledge of Le Corbusier and his work, as well as helping to establish and evaluate a serious new understanding of urban design by offering lessons from the experiments carried out in the very early 20th Century"--

In 1950, Indian prime minister Jawaharlal Nehru invited legendary French-Swiss architect Le Corbusier to embark on one of the greatest experiments in urban planning history: to build on the flat plains of Punjab a new capital--Chandigarh, a city whose monumental modernism promised to free India from the fetters of colonial tradition and lay the groundwork for an independent and utopian future. Nicknamed the City Beautiful, Chandigarh has been called one of "the perfect cities of the world in terms of architecture, cultural growth, and modernization," and in 2016 was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Six decades after its founding, photographer and Chandigarh resident Shaun Fynn was granted unprecedented access to turn his lens on Le Corbusier's city and capture what is rarely seen: the living metropolis behind the master plan. Fynn's captivating images of the city and its inhabitants observe how the poetry of the architect's compositions have been shaped by the tumult of everyday life and worn by the forces of time. Chandigarh Revealed combines striking photographs, texts by Le Corbusier authorities, an interview with one of the last remaining architects from Le Corbusier's team, and custom-designed maps to create an astonishing and intimate portrait of a legendary city.

Si des créateurs comme Sonia et Robert Delaunay, Fernand Léger, Pierre Chareau, Robert Mallet-Stevens, Le Corbusier, Charlotte Perriand, Jean Prouvé ou Cassandre ont marqué de leur empreinte l'art moderne, ils ont aussi participé à un ample mouvement dont le rôle a été déterminant : celui de l'Union des artistes modernes. Fondée en 1929, l'UAM regroupe aussi bien des architectes, décorateurs, et créateurs de mobilier que des peintres, sculpteurs, orfèvres, relieurs, graphistes et affichistes animés par une même volonté de répondre aux besoins du beau et de l'utile pour tous. En rupture avec le Salon des artistes décorateurs, vitrine des savoir-faire traditionnels, ces Modernes partagent l'idéal d'une synthèse des arts capable de répondre aux enjeux politiques et sociaux de leur temps, aux défis d'une nécessaire industrialisation et à la production de logements de masse pour imaginer de nouvelles manières d'habiter et de vivre. Jusqu'à sa dissolution en 1958, l'UAM accueille plus de 170 membres et de nombreux invités, notamment des figures majeures d'avant-gardes européennes comme le Bauhaus ou De Stijl. C'est cette histoire d'une modernité française dont les origines remontent au tournant du XXe siècle que l'exposition du Centre Pompidou et l'ouvrage qui l'accompagne s'attachent à retracer.[Source : extrait 4ème de couv.]

La création de l'architecture contemporaine est due à bien d'autres personnalités... Mais la fonction historique qui distingue Le Corbusier des autres réside en ce qu'il fut simultanément peintre, architecte et poète." C'est ainsi que l'historien de l'architecture Siegfried Giedion donne à Le Corbusier sa dimension : celle d'un créateur universel. Jean Jenger montre qu'au delà des clichés - purisme ou brutalisme - les villas blanches, les unités d'habitation, Ronchamp, la Tourette ou Chandigarh peuvent apparaître comme une "architecture pour émouvoir.
