A hometown dedicated entirely to the manufacture of watches, a childhood marked by the shadow of the older brother, the crucial meeting with his drawing teacher and later with the Perret brothers, the transformation into "architect-consultant for everything related to decoration”, his friendship with Ozenfant and the founding of a magazine, the conquest of Paris, books, Joséphine Baker, World War II, his relationship with his mother, New York, India…
Jean-Louis Cohen offers us in these pages a surprising illustrated biography that recomposes the complex emotional, experiential and intellectual puzzle of Le Corbusier through a polyhedral mosaic of brief vital episodes. A journey in which we accompany the French-Swiss architect throughout his life, and in which the photographic testimonies —many of them unpublished to date— and his own words —of euphoria, doubt, disappointment— acquire so much protagonism as the incisive look of Cohen.
