The Maison Curutchet in Argentina is one of the most interesting buildings?in Le Corbusier's oeuvre: it is the only single-family dwelling the?architect designed in the late 1940s, and it is one of his very few built?projects in the Americas. Commissioned in 1948 by Dr. Pedro Domingo?Curutchet, the house was designed by Le Corbusier without any direct?contact with the client. For many years it has been surrounded by an air?of controversy over its authorship and unique evolution.??The Maison Curutchet is a fascinating representation of Le Corbusier's?transitional period, stylistically as well as chronologically bridging the?purism of his buildings from the late 1920s and the maturity of his later?work in India.??Like The Danteum, Park GŸell, and Casa Malaparte,?this book offers an in-depth analysis of a single building through?original documents, drawings, and photographs and through critical?examination of a unique design process. - from Amzon
