Dr. Joyce Lowman, a distinguished member of the Royal Institute of British Architects, and best-selling author Jill Paider join forces to provide never-before-released research on Le Corbusier. Until now, the historical recount of Le Corbusier's years of transition was limited to the select narratives he chose to share. Becoming Le Corbusier offers a much more dynamic story that dispels key myths and sheds light on the robust formula of Le Corbusier's vision, legacy, and theories. The timeline spans from 1900, when he left school to join an apprentice course, to 1925, when he achieved international recognition as one of the leading innovators of the Modern Movement. Nearly a century later, Le Corbusier's principles remain the foundation of modern architecture. Becoming Le Corbusier is written for art, architecture, and design lovers, innovators, entrepreneurs, students, academics, and historians. Above all, the book is a call to action for those with the willingness and courage to address the design challenges of our time. "A powerful and luminous revelation that captivates us with new insight into one of the most famous architects of the 20th century." Françoise Ducros, Art Historian
