ArchitectureWeek Description
"The problem of the house is a problem of the epoch," stated Swiss architect Le Corbusier; architecture, he felt, should focus on everyday life and produce housing that is "made for living in." This book explores the work of a group of like-minded designers in France, the architects-décorateurs, who committed themselves to designing and equipping the modern house. The author traces the development of their ideas in France from the Salons d'Automne displays of 1900 through the post-World War I period, when the early modern architects, influenced by cubism and art nouveau, established architecture as a human-centered art.
