Summary:
Entre 1926 et 1946, Le Corbusier échange plus de 700 lettres avec ses proches. Ces courriers, pour beaucoup inédits, dressent son portrait au jour le jour tandis qu'il voyage sans cesse, de Moscou à Rio, d'Alger à New York. C'est aussi durant cette période qu'il réalise la Villa Savoye, le Pavillon suisse, l'immeuble Molitor, l'Unité d'Habitation de Marseille. A l'âge de la maturité, Le Corbusier endosse la stature de l'architecte international et travaille sans relâche à parfaire ses théories. Il engage les projets majeurs de son existence, qui sont autant de manifestes de l'architecture moderne. Autant d'oeuvres dont on trouve ici la genèse.

Summary:
"The first built project and final creative work of artist and architect Lebbeus Woods (1940-2012), the Light Pavilion is transcendent architecture, a project that exemplifies the preoccupations of a consummate draftsman, thinker, and educator. Nestled within a mixed-use complex in Chengdu, China, this daring construction is an emancipated drawing, a light and shadow machine, a chromatic calendar, a fugue of steel, a dance of space and form. The pavilion's dynamic geometry, perspective, and sequence of spaces reframe perceptions of architecture and urbanism.

Summary:
Canada's foremost architectural office Kuwabara Payne McKenna Blumberg Architects, founded in 1987 in Toronto, is one of most innovative architectural offices in North America today.

Summary:
Le Corbusier had originally intended to be a painter and his early studies were primarily focused on art and decoration. For more than five decades, Le Corbusier oscillated between contradictory poles : his fascination with mechanical objects on the one hand, and his search for poetic form on the other. The intermingling of his more private aesthetic pursuits and his more public works took place in his “secret laboratory,” inside his artist’s studio. This volume consolidates the diverse facets of his oeuvre, offering a more complete understanding of his paintings, drawings, sculptures, tapestries, furniture, architectural sketches and plans - as well as his books and photographs.
