Description: From a watchmaker's workshop in the Swiss Jura to the sun-baked plains of India, this vivid biography traces the extraordinary journey of Charles-Édouard Jeanneret—the visionary who reinvented himself as Le Corbusier and, in doing so, reshaped the modern world. Follow his formative travels through the East, the radical manifestos that upended centuries of tradition, and the landmark buildings—from the crystalline Villa Savoye to the soaring concrete pilgrimage chapel at Ronchamp—that continue to provoke and inspire. Along the way, discover the human dimensions of a restless mind obsessed with proportion, light, and the possibility of a better way to live. A compelling portrait of the twentieth century's most influential—and controversial—architect.
