Towards a New Architecture

2014 Reprint of 1927 Edition. Full facsimile of the original edition, not reproduced with Optical Recognition Software. This classic work is a collection of essays written by Le Corbusier advocating for and exploring the concept of modern architecture. The book has had a lasting effect on the architectural profession, serving as the manifesto for a generation of architects, a subject of hatred for others, and unquestionably a critical piece of architectural theory. The architectural historian Reyner Banham once claimed that its influence was unquestionably "beyond that of any other architectural work published in this [20th] century to date". That unparalleled influence has continued, unabated, into the 21st century. The polemical book contains seven essays. Each essay dismisses the contemporary trends of eclecticism and art deco, replacing them with architecture that was meant to be more than a stylistic experiment; rather, an architecture that would fundamentally change how humans interacted with buildings. This new mode of living derived from a new spirit defining the industrial age, demanding a rebirth of architecture based on function and a new aesthetic based on pure form.

Like a photocopy of the original copy. Disappointing... This is an awful copy of a good book. The pages are like photocopied in large pages leaving huge white edges around. Also, it is bound horribly!
Ideal for anyone interested in architecture and for a book written and translated some time ago it reads very easily. I've actua I used this book for analysis when writing my essay. Ideal for anyone interested in architecture and for a book written and translated some time ago it reads very easily. I've actually read it a few times over within a short space of time and definitely recommend it. Also arrived exactly when I needed it.
Of historic interest. A present.
It works for uni I needed the 1927 version for uni but I’m reading this one, it mentions a lot of things I learnt in college
Le Corbusier 101 Great overview of Le Corbusiers design methodology and influences. Print quality is not great, as it looks like a photo reproduction. For the price, it's a reasonable book and an easy read
