Why read it?
1 author picked Le Corbusier as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I remember Geoffrey Bakerās lectures about space, movement, and light in Le Corbusier's buildings from my own student days.
His infectious enthusiasm is captured in his book, with his own clear sketches and diagrams.
Bakerās analysis has been a lasting influence on my own work, encouraging me to experience moving around and through architecture, and where this is not possible to imagine that experience from drawings and photographs.
Check out Bakerās Design Strategies in Architecture: An Approach to the Analysis of Form, too.
From Antony's list on analysing architecture.
