Frampton draws on the latest research to set Le Corbusier's work against the background of his complex personality. The treatment is largely chrological, revealing the architect's development and his world-wide legacy. It discusses the full range of his achievement, from realized buildings and the new Indian city of Chandigarh, to the messianic modernist publications in which he espoused his fervent belief in architecture as an agent of progress.
