A rising star of Belgian modernist architecture from the 1920s, Stanislas Jasinski collaborated with great names in architecture such as Henry van de Velde
and Victor Horta. He met Robert Mallet-Stevens and Le Corbusier, whose Vers une architecture would have a great influence on him. He rubbed shoulders with major artists, such as René Magritte and Victor Servranckx, and took part in the magazine 7 Arts, whose members engaged in dialogue with the European avant-garde. His numerous and diverse achievements and his urban planning projects demonstrate a profound understanding of the economic and social challenges of a rapidly changing world, the need for the constant renewal of cities, the adaptation and recycling of urban centers. Richly illustrated with numerous unpublished documents, this book embraces for the first time the life and work of Stanislas Jasinski, the flamboyant career of the man who was, in a way, a "Belgian Le Corbusier."
