Críticas:

'William J.R Curtis is the best architectural historian writing in the English language, and that alone makes this book something of an event'. Chicago Truibune 'This is not only the best single work on Le Corbusier - a model of scholarship, erudite yet eminently readable - it is also an invaluable analysis of the creative architectural process. It should be read and re-read by every student of architecture'. Building Design 'It is as incisive narrative, informed by biography and illuminated by penetrating critical commentary, that this book excels'. T. L. S. 'An admirable introduction to Le Corbusier's life and work. It is also a record of personal observation and synthesis by an informed and shrewdly sensitive author which will remain valid and fresh long term'. Architectural Review 'The most lucid and complete chronicle yet available of Le Corbusier's achievement. This book excels'. AIA Journal

Reseña del editor:

Le Corbusier's notebooks from his travels in Germany span the period April to May 1911. During his travels, touching on Munich, Berlin, Halle, Naumburg, Ratisbon and Augsburg, he met individuals who would have a profound influence on him: among others, Theodore Fischer, Baron Gunther von Pechmann, William Ritter and Peter Behrens. He also became absorbed in the themes of working-class housing and the need to complete his own training as an architect. In these notebooks his writings, short critical comments, travel impressions and notes accompany an impressive number of drawings, landscapes and monuments, design studies and watercolours, that show how receptive Le Corbusier became to the important ideological and urbanistic issues of the time.
