Praise for the first edition:

‘The man who designed the 20th century [Le Corbusier] arguably had more of an influence on the form of the modern world than any other architect… You couldn't make a book like this about just any architectBeyond the architecture, reveals a great deal about the man himself. It all points to a life lived enviably fully.’ – Guardian

‘The impact of all the illustrations is undoubtedly fascinating – a real joy […] to browse through – conveys the experience of a day at a really well organised archive.’ – Building Design

‘As visually arresting as it is thought-provoking… An archival achievement of the highest order… Essential reading for those with even a fleeting interest in modernist architecture.’ – The Essential Journal
