Summary:
Originaly published in 1971. This book opened up appreciation of the author beyond the confines of philosophy to the reaches of poetry. In Heidegger's thinking, poetry is not a mere amusement or form of culture but a force that opens up the realm of truth and brings man to the measure of his being and his world.

Summary:
Westelaken's buildings are compositions in brick, wood, glass, and concrete, a spatial interplay between matter and light in which the principles of arrangement are comparable to those used by composers: rhythm, measure, timbre, dynamics. This book examines six of his buildings. Exhaustively photographed, the overview includes a number of plans and an interview with the architect.

Summary:
Le Corbusier: The Measures of Man offers the most up-to-date picture we have of Le Corbusier’s achievement. A new generation of researchers and curators looks in particular at his life-long study of the human proportion and how the human body should be housed. Created to accompany a breathtakingly ambitious retrospective at the Centre Pompidou in Paris, the book traces Le Corbusier’s life and work from his earliest days through his greatest successes and lasting influences. It covers not only his iconic building designs and bold plans for city centers, but also presents a substantial exploration of his achievements as a painter and sculptor as well.
