Over the last twenty years of his career, Le Corbusier experimented with a new aesthetic that strongly influenced his final works. His aim was to move away from any academicism by using form as an instrument to invent a new style of writing that was quickly dubbed "brutalism." This approach is defined as a "true synthesis of the arts," bringing together all the major arts around architecture. The book will illustrate, with numerous photographic and filmed documents and an anthology of his texts, the interaction of Le Corbusier's different formal and theoretical practices around the various themes addressed: brutalism, constructive rationalism, composition, matter, light, and color.
