Le Corbusier Oeuvre complète en 8 volumes / Complete Works in 8 volumes

Can't not own this if you can afford one. In contrast with William Burges however, I would much rather own the book than one of the buildings, but what a brilliant sculptor, artist and conceptual planner.

Bought by mistake but well worth it

SO GOOD

imprescindible

L’opera é di qualità , versione rieditata con copertine leggere su cartone.L imballaggio insufficiente non ha protetto i libri e il cofanetto che sono arrivati molto rovinati. Ho dovuto restituirli e ordinare di nuovo l’opera sperando su un imballaggio più adattato.

Excelent architectural book set for collectible

While there have been many monographs of Le Corbusier, this is the definitive edition. It is the set of volumes that inspired everyone from Alvar Aalto to Zaha Hadid, shaping the way we look at Modern Architecture. There is a typo in the number of pages. This set is massive but it doesn't weigh in at 176,000 pages. The 8 volumes, about 200 pages each, were originally released individually from 1929 to 1969 with Boesinger and Stonorov working directly with Le Corbusier. These are the original drawings and photographs, so if you are looking for glossy prints of Corbu's more famous works, I suggest purchasing monographs by Kenneth Frampton or William Curtis, which have contemporary photos of his better known buildings. Also, much of the text is not translated, presented in the original French. You have to have a great appreciation for Corbu's work to consider such a purchase, but given how rare first editions are, not to mention expensive, this is the best price by far for this invaluable collection.
