“Towards an Architecture has been the most famous, most published, most translated, and most widely read of all the manifestos of modern architecture throughout the world.” A theoretical treatise, a polemical work, and a programmatic manifesto, Towards an Architecture fits all of these categories at once, without belonging to any of them. Applied to industrial buildings, mechanical objects, and historic monuments, Le Corbusier’s fresh perspective and irreverent style revolutionized architectural thinking and the way in which we took into account the transformations of modern life. First published in 1923, Towards an Architecture has continued to inform architects’ ideas and guide their steps “toward” a new architecture ever since.
