Praise for the previous edition Precisions gives English-speaking architects and students an entree into a period of Le Corbusier's work that is usually overlooked in twentieth-century surveys. . . . Le Corbusier himself saw Precisions as marking an important shift. . . . [This book] not only gives us insight into a critical moment of transition in Le Corbusier's work but also reveals a dimension of this complex yet very human architect that has been largely ignored in the functionalist polemics of the early modern movement. -- Journal of the Society of Architectural Historians
