OverviewLe Corbusier, byname of Charles-Edouard Jeanneret, (born October 6, 1887, La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland-died August 27, 1965, Cap Martin, France), internationally influential Swiss architect and city planner, whose designs combine the functionalism of the modern movement with bold, sculptural expressionism. This book is a riveting biography of Le Corbusier-a man who invented new ways of building and thinking. It is a penetrating psychological portrait of a true genius and constant self-inventor, as well as a sweeping tale filled with exotic locales, sex and celebrity (he was a lover of Josephine Baker), and high-stakes projects. In Flint's telling, Corbusier isn't just the grandfather of modern architecture but a man who sought to remake the world according to his vision, dispelling the Victorian style and replacing it with something never seen before. His legacy remains controversial today, as the world grapples with how to house its skyrocketing urban population and the cult of the starchitect continues to grow.
