Summary:
Ce dernier tome conclut le cycle des correspondances familiales de Le Corbusier. Les années 1947-1965 sont marquées par ses plus grands succès architecturaux, mais aussi par ses chagrins intimes les plus déchirants. A l’aube de ses soixante ans, Le Corbusier engage une fois de plus son atelier dans une dynamique de projets qu’il mène parallèlement à un travail critique et théorique sur les nouveaux enjeux de l’architecture. De la mise en chantier de Chandigarh à la réalisation du Carpenter center d’Harvard, ses voyages se multiplient et donnent lieu à une correspondance nourrie où se dessinent ses premiers dialogues avec la mort – qu’accentueront la disparition de son épouse et de sa mère – mais aussi ses réflexions sur la pérennisation de son oeuvre.

Summary:
'Voyage Le Corbusier' collects for the first time a compendium of sketchbook drawings and watercolors of Charles-Edouard Jeanneret—a young student who would become the modernist architect Le Corbusier. Between 1907 and 1911, Jeanneret traveled throughout Europe and the Mediterranean, carrying an array of drawing supplies and documenting all that he saw: classical ruins, details of interiors, vibrant landscapes, and the people and objects that populated them. Jacob Brillhart excavates the "visual thinking" of the twentieth century's architect, reproducing a selection of 175 drawings from these early sketchbooks.

This volume documents the House of the Narkomfin, built (or “montaged,” as the Constructivist architect Moisej J. Ginzburg (1986–1946) preferred to call it) between 1928 and 1931. It is therefore contemporaneous with Le Corbusier’s Villa Savoye, as well as with Le Corbusier’s visit to Moscow. But the Narkomfin is more than a housing block with a recognizable style. It is(...)

Summary:
This volume documents the House of the Narkomfin, built (or “montaged,” as the Constructivist architect Moisej J. Ginzburg (1986–1946) preferred to call it) between 1928 and 1931. It is therefore contemporaneous with Le Corbusier’s Villa Savoye, as well as with Le Corbusier’s visit to Moscow. But the Narkomfin is more than a housing block with a recognizable style. It is the converging point of the history of Constructivism, where purposefully reassembled functional spaces were given an active role in transforming everyday social life.

Summary:
In 1903, Adolf Loos edited the journal Das Andere – Ein Blatt zur Einführung abendländischer 'Kunst in Österreich', in which he expressed his thoughts on, and theories of, contemporary architecture, fashion, and design. The publication was born out of Loos’ aversion to a superficial aestheticization of life in Austria, which he saw embodied by the “Wiener Secession” and later on “Wiener Werkstätte” and “Werkbund”. As a counterbalance, in Das Andere he showed his admiration especially for the fashion and culture of England and America. Contemporary advertisements on these subjects were included in the journal, which ran for just two issues. Beatriz Colomina supplements the reprint of Das Andere with an extensive commentary.

Summary:
Friedrich Weinwurm, a contemporary of Le Corbusier, Mies van der Rohe or Walter Gropius and one of the most noteworthy architects of Slovakia, can be ranked among the leading representatives of the interwar Central European architectural avant-garde. His legacy of several dozen designed and completed office buildings, single-family houses, villas and housing complexes (Nová Doba, Unitas) forms an oeuvre attracting admiration today. His progressive social program and clear principles for architectural design influenced the Slovak architectural scene of the 1920s and 1930s more than the work of any other architect. The publication contains a comparison between Weinwurm´s work and its contemporary efforts on both the local and international levels, as well as its integration into the context of the domestic and broader European architectural situation.
