Texts and Sketches for Ronchamp by Le Corbusier (1982) 1ST ENGLISH LANGUAGE ED.

Description: Texts and Sketches for Ronchamp by Le Corbusier Author's Preface : 'It may be interesting to publish the birth sketches of an architectural work.'When a job is handed to me I tuck it away in my memory, not allowing myself to make any sketches for months on end. That's the way the human head is made: it has a certain independence. It's a box into which you can toss the elements of a problem any which way and leave it to "float", to "simmer", to "ferment". Then one fine day there comes a spontaneous movement from within, the catch is sprung; you take a pencil, a drawing charcoal, some color pencils (color is the key to the maneuver) and you give birth on the sheet of paper. The idea comes out - the child comes out, it comes into the world, it is born.' 1ST ENGLISH LANGUAGE EDITION; 1982 Association Oeuvre de Notre-Dame du Haut; NF/no dust jacket issued; softcover, 5 x 5 inches, spine lightly sunned, slight bumps to extremities, binding square and supple, clean and unmarked Additional pictures of this item can be provided upon request.
