aim to capture a piece of Le Corbusier’s essence in an 'artist book'
'His art was conceived on such bewildering number of levels, and funded
from so many associations and images, and from such a mass of historical
material that is not at all easy to recognize which door to open in the
search for the correct route to the source of his inspiration.'
It is indeed human to err; mistakes are made, and about
Le Corbusier, in particular, there have been an astonishing
number. As great man go, and certainly great artists,
he must be the mostmisunderstood of the century.'
‘An architect is an imaginative being who leaves behind,
as do the painter and sculptor, a visual imprint of his time,
and future generations are able to use this to identify the
nature of that time.’
