Le Corbusier (1887-1965) was arguably the most influential architect of the twentieth century. Despite the fact that he designed no permanent buildings in the United Kingdom, more than any other individual he was responsible for shaping British post-war architecture. Le Corbusier and Britain traces the growing awareness of work by this visionary figure in contemporary architectural journals and the popular press. Contributions by such prominent architects and critics as Edwin Lutyens, Herbert Read, Maxwell Fry, Jane Drew and Colin St John Wilson are accompanied by 150 illustrations. Also featuring the most comprehensive bibliography of British writings by and about Le Corbusier ever published, this book is a invaluable addition to architectural studies.
