Architect Steven Park has redrawn the plans, sections and sectional perspectives of twenty-two houses designed by modern master Le Corbusier. Computer-aided design has allowed original drawings, sourced from the Le Corbusier Foundation’s archives, to be redrawn with precise uniformity, at a 1:200 scale and with a consistent monochrome graphic standard. This remarkable compilation of new drawings enables his work to be read with ease. Sectional perspectives celebrate spatial arrangements with a clarity that makes the drawings ideal for students or those wishing to refine their architectural visualization techniques. This book is perfect for those who want to better understand and examine Le Corbusier’s work in three dimensions.
