Reviews

"Today Le Corbusier is generally accepted as the outstanding artist-architect of the Modern Movement, and there can be little doubt that he owes something of his world-wide reputation to the successive volumes of Le Corbusier: Oeuvre Complète, a work which will hardly require introduction to the students of architecture or, indeed, to the majority of the profession. More than a mere catalogue of Le Corbusier's buildings, the Oeuvre Complète sets out to record, in the fullest possible detail, all the many aspects of his aesthetic and social philosophies and, in the process, his complete development as an architect. It contains all his more important projects, executed or otherwise, his esquisse-drawings and perspectives, his plans for ideal cities, and extracts from his writings. Indeed, most of us are probably more familiar with his work as it appears on the pages of Oeuvre Complète than we are from studying the actual buildings themselves."
