Le Corbusier: Panorama of a Lifetime's Work

摘要

Le Corbusier lived out his final days, almost always naked, in a tiny, spartan cabin - Le Cabanon - built on a rocky outcrop by the sea at Roquebrune-Cap-Martin in southern France. A far cry from his white, open-plan villas - veritable symbols of modern architecture - and his post-war, concrete, vertical cities, the 15 sq m back-to-basics hut was wrapped inside and out in wood and contained just a slim bed, a table, hand basin and toilet. It was a few metres from here that he was found drowned following one of his daily swims in the Mediterranean in 1965.
