Abstract

le Corbusier became famous throughout the world for his unique contribution to 20th century architecture. His buildings and projects are internationally acclaimed and widely documented. Now the time has come to discover the man behind the architecture. Jean Jenger, longtime President of the Fondation Le Corbusier, has selected 322 of the most attractive and interesting letters from over 5000 of Le Corbusier's correspondence documents, many of them previously unpublished. For the first time a quite different yet authentic image of the Swiss-French architect emerges: behind the shy and brusque manner, a sensitive even gentle person is to be found. Full of surprises, this volume not only reveals the private side to a public figures, it is also the portrait of an era.

Abstract

Le Corbusier designed the Philips Pavilion for the World’s Fair in Brussels in 1958. It is his only building for a Dutch client. The unconventional pavilion was the setting for the experimental performance Le poème électronique. Using film, light, colour, space and music, and seen by one and a half million visitors, this event is regarded as the first multimedia performance for the general public. After its demolition in 1959, the pavilion became an icon of the twentieth century. The Rijksmuseum has a scale model of the pavilion and the soundtrack of Le poème électronique. EYE Filmmuseum keeps the film footage of the performance. The book is the complete overview of the Philips Pavilion. It also reproduces the total experience produced by Le poème électronique. One visitor to the performance eloquently described the experience as ‘like an ant in a hurricane’.

Abstract

Ein Meilenstein in Le Corbusiers Bemühungen um den sozialen Wohnbau: die Arbeitersiedlungen von Pessac. in 1923/24 Henry Frugès, a Bordeaux industrialist commissioned Le Corbusier and Pierre Jeanneret with a "small workers housing estate" in Lège and a garden city in Pessac, comprising 130 to 150 houses with shops. These two housing schemes fitted neatly into the architects research on standardisation and the "machine à habiter", and provided a useful laboratory for gauging public opinion with regard to mass-production techniques in housing estates. One of the most striking features of the Cité Frugès was the use of polychromy on the exterior facades, to, in Le Corbusier's own words, "sculpt the space through the physical quality of colour - bring forward some volumes while making others recede. In short, compose with colour in the same way as we have composed with form. This is how architecture is transformed into urbanism." Historical documents and drawings make this handy-sized volume an invaluable guide for visitors and a practical introduction for all architectural enthusiasts.

Abstract

Die wegweisenden kollektiven Wohnbauten des Meisterarchitekten. the Unité in Marseille (1945-1952) was a pioneering achievement at a time when social housing in the post WWII years posed an immense problem. Freed from restrictive regulations for the first time Le Corbusier was able to put into practice his concept of modern social housing. A milestone of modern architecture and subject of controversial debate, the Unité in Marseille continues to attract numerous visitors and students of architecture. This volume is the latest addition to Birkhäuser's series of guides to Le Corbusier's most acclaimed buildings, and includes an additional chapter on his Unités in Rezé-les-Nantes, Briey en Forêt, Firminy and Berlin. The author, a practising architect and well known le Corbusier specialist, lives in Marseille and teaches at the Ecole d'architecture de Marseille-Luminy.
