An Interview With Lucien Hervé, Daniel J. Naegele

Daniel J. Naegele

The architect of the century, Le Corbusier built less than sixty buildings yet published more than fifty books. These books are both verbal and visual, relying heavily on an illustrative text composed largely of photographs. In the 1922 publicity brochure for his forthcoming Vers une architecture Le Corbusier boasted, "This book derives its eloquence from the new means; its magnificent illustrations hold next to the next a parallel discourse, and one of great power".
