Le Corbusier: Le Grand

Le Corbusier: Le Grand is a visual biography of Le Corbusier, one of the most influential architects of the twentieth century. Through sketches, photographs and correspondence it documents his life and the full range of his output, work that continues to engage readers inside and outside the architectural world.

First published almost two decades ago and now back in print, the book opens with an essay by the architectural historian Jean-Louis Cohen, to whom this edition is dedicated, and has chapter introductions by the Le Corbusier scholar Tim Benton. Compiled by the Phaidon Editors, the hardback runs to 848 pages in a 290 x 221 mm format.
