Towards a New Architecture

Bought this as a gift, there was an issue with shipping and I ended up buying it in a book store, but the Architect in my life loved it. He said it was a great way to look at architecture from a different perspective.

Everyone knows Corbu is a legendary in architecture. this is the most famous book by him and therefore is a MUST for architecture students and architects. Vers Une Architecture!!!!!! Thanks Corb

I bought this book because I'm an architecture major and like many, we want to know EVERYTHING to EVERY architect haha. This book is really easy to read and follow, and fast, as I read it fairly quickly and am by no means an avid reader. The book is pretty much Le Corbusier's writings and views of architecture, a manifesto per say. I recommend to my fellow architecture enthusiasts.

Le Corbusier is one of Architecture's famous intellectuals. He is to Architecture what Albert Einstein was to Physics. Highly recommend if your in Arch. School or even just some light reading after work. It shows how differently he thought about things at the time and why his points were actually thoughtful of the time period.

A passionate treatise appreciable by anyone. A fascinating expression of a frustrated but hopeful view on the status quo. Also has lots of great pictures.

This is a very great book from master Le Corbusier! I highly recommend for this book for any architectural students.

Now, having read this book, I see. Examples of the evolution of his thoughts on architecture are everywhere. He also seemed to have some influence on modern building standards and made some predictions on on housing which have come to pass, some with good results and some not so good. I believe I read about an idea that was the precursor to the timeshare condo. (Blech) ! What an incredible influence. Not a particularly great read but one I am glad I experienced and will not forget.

Read this for my intro year of architecture and it's a good foundation piece to have in your library.

Me encantó. Me lo leí del tirón. Muy recomendable si te gusta la arquitectura.

It’s Le Corbusier, you know what to expect from this book in terms of content, but the quality of the paper is terrible, it’s the same kind of bond paper I have in my printer at home.

You probably wont understand Le Corbusiers work without knowing the Time, it's Problems and this Book. No more to say. Except: We know it in big parts better today. The Car-City is dead and Steel is also more expensive today. But one extraordinary concept in it, is a house made in it's mainstructure out of steelreinforced-concrete, framed with a cheap wooden construction, filled with strewbales and plasterted by machine - It would work wonderfully, still today!

じつは、いつか読もうと言う為の積ん読本なのですが、たまーにパラパラめくっています

Maybe the most important book on modern architecture, an easy read and very interesting for the understanding of Le Corbusier's big mind.
