the construction of the apartment block at number 24, rue Nungesser et Coli in Paris, between 1931 and 1934, was an important milestone for Le Corbusier and Pierre Jeanneret. It was the first opportunity offered to them in France to put to the test theories on urbanism and architecture, which they had been working on since the 1920s ("cinq points de l architecture moderne"), and marks an important stage on the path to Brutalism. And it is of all the more interest because of the apartment and art studio Le Corbusier designed for the top two floors of the building and in which he lived from 1934 until his death in 1965. Historical documents and drawings make this handy-sized volume an invaluable guide for visitors and a practical introduction for all architectural enthusiasts.

Synopsis:

Part of a series of concise guide-books devoted to major Le Corbusier edifices, this text looks at the residence at 24 rue Nungesser et Coli at the edge of the Bois de Boulogne in Paris, built between 1931 and 1934, and occupied by Le Corbusier from 1934 until his death in 1965. This building always stood somewhat in the shadow of the masterpieces of this epoch, such as the Villa Savoye and the Pavillon Suisse. yet it was precisely this building which gave exemplary expression to Le Corbusier's path towards "Brutalism". Recently restored, the apartment preserves all the original furnishings.
