Summary:
This book is the first to tell the full and true story of Le Corbusier’s adventure in automobile design. Le Corbusier (with Pierre Jeanneret) entered an automobile design competition, submitting plans for "a minimalist vehicle for maximum functionality," the Voiture Minimum. Despite Le Corbusier’s energetic promotion of his design to several important automakers, the Voiture Minimum was never mass-produced. Architect Antonio Amado describes the project in detail, linking it to Le Corbusier’s architectural work, to Modernist utopian urban visions, and to the automobile design projects of other architects including Walter Gropius and Frank Lloyd Wright.

Telling the story of the early Team 10 thinking shifts the importance of the group from its better known projects of the 1960s and 70s to the theoretically vigorous period of the 1940s and 50s. This “other” story of the debates about the future of town planning reveals the ruptures and continuities between the CIAM generations and Team 10 members themselves, and reveals a more extensive critique of developing modern architecture at mid-century than has hitherto been recognized.

Summary:
In this publication, the current work of New York-based Steven Holl-an outstanding representative of contemporary American architecture-is the subject of a detailed examination that is orientated by a focus on archetypical aspects of visual perception. For nearly three decades now, Steven Holl has developed his architectural stance and his reflections on architecture with striking consistency. The success of his work can be attributed to its sculptural shaping, his interest in the poetics of space, colour, light, and material, and his fascination with scientific phenomena. With essays by Jordi Safont-Tria, Sanford Kwinter, and Steven Holl that discuss various dimensions of temporality vis a vis processes of creation, utilizations, and perception in architecture.
