Le Le Corbusier by Jean-Louis Cohen
Even in his unrealised projects, Le Corbusier redefined modern living, synthesising functionalism, expressionism, and expansive urban thinking from Switzerland to Chandigarh, India. This book provides a succinct introduction to his trailblazing ideas, writings, and buildings, which continue to resonate and influence to this day.
In 1997, the French Minister of Culture appointed Jean-Louis Cohen (1949–2023) to create the Cité de l’architecture—a museum, research, and exhibition center in Paris’s Palais de Chaillot. Cohen’s research focused principally on 20th-century architecture and urban planning, and his studies on German and Soviet architectural cultures. He was professor in the history of architecture, author and curator of numerous books and exhibitions on architecture, and an internationally acknowledged authority on Le Corbusier’s work. Peter Gössel runs an agency for museum and exhibition design. He has published TASCHEN monographs on Julius Shulman, R. M. Schindler, John Lautner, and Richard Neutra, as well as several titles in the Basic Architecture series.
