Beginning in the "heroic" period of the 1920s, Le Corbusier
presented his work to the world in his lectures: in Paris and Rome,
Geneva and Zurich, Barcelona and Brussels, Prague and Moscow, Buenos
Aires and Rio de Janeiro, as well as at Columbia University in New York.
In
this volume, the numerous excerpts, preliminary notes, accompanying
drawings, and photographs that Le Corbusier produced in connection with
his lectures are presented and contextualized by one of the leading
experts on the great architect. In them we see modernism at work.
Always a great rhetorician and a master at staging his own persona, Le
Corbusier takes the arguments and strategies, seminal ideas and most
convincing highlights and fuses them into an architectural conception
that every advanced architectural position and practice must still come
to terms with today.
After presenting the lectures in detail in
a series of thematic chapters, the final third of the book reproduces
five pivotal lectures from the 1920s and 1950s.
The contemporary relevance of Le Corbusiers work is also underscored by the comprehensive exhibition Le Corbusier The Art of Architecture.
Organized by the Vitra Design Museum in cooperation with the
Netherlands Architecture Institute and the Royal Institute of British
Architects, it is scheduled to open in 2009 at the Barbican Art Gallery
in London.
