Towards a New Architecture

Meer over het boek

Le Corbusier's influential work presents a revolutionary approach to architecture, emphasizing that buildings should cater to modern needs with pure forms. Rejecting classical and art deco styles, he advocates for functional design over mere aesthetic experimentation. His ideas on materials and spatial relationships dramatically reshaped modern architecture and urban planning. Originally published as essays in 1921 and later expanded into a book, this essential text remains crucial for architects, designers, and urban planners seeking to understand his lasting impact on the field.
