The discovery of béton brut with malfaçons : the worksite of the Unité d'habitation at Marseille -- Acrobat training : the provocateur of new forms -- Unités d'habitation at Reé-Lès-Nantes, Berlin, and Briey-en-Forêt -- Chandigarh, or the cosmic vision -- Brutal skin in pisé, brick, and wood -- Machines à habiter for tropical visions and climates -- Automatisms and projections of sounds and images -- Toward a new stereotomy.
This groundbreaking new perspective on Le Corbusier is based on exhaustive archival research and the study of neglected or completely unknown documents. It is innovative in showing the role of materials and construction techniques in the architecture of Le Corbusier and the book also delves into the project management and the construction of several buildings in the period 1940 - 1965. Each worksite, from the Unité d'Habitation (Housing Unit) in Marseille to the city of Chandigarh, and the Tokyo museum, the Carpenter Center in Cambridge and the Unité d'Habitation in Berlin, is analyzed in detail.
