Charles-Édouard Jeanneret, otherwise known as the Swiss architect Le Corbusier, is famous for proclaiming ’the house is a machine for living in’. The book ‘Le Corbusier. Houses’ offers a good comparison of 106 of Le Corbusiers designs for houses.
The book edited by Tadao Ando Laboratory (with model, as well as plan and side views), each house to one spread, sets Le Corbusier’s experiments in perspective. Two essays discuss the theory behind his designs and what they reveal aboutLe Corbusier himself.
