Birkhauser A Little House
Villa le Lac, which was designated a World Heritage in 2016, was designed and built by Le Corbusier as Geneva lakeside home for his parents in 1925. Because of its spare arrangement of spaces, he referred to it as a “dwelling machine.” Even today it remains the modern prototype of the “small house” that fulfills all of the functions of a residence with a minimum of floor area and seamless transitions between spaces. For the first time, this book is appearing in three separate language editions, following the original edition in which Le Corbusier documented the history of the building: with photographs, sketches and a poetic text. Access to the original photographs allowed the quality of the illustrations in this edition to be improved significantly.

Birkhauser The Modulor and Modulor 2
In the years 1942 to 1948, Le Corbusier developed a system of measurements which became known as “Modulor”. Based on the Golden Section and Fibonacci numbers and also using the physical dimensions of the average human, “Modulor” is a sequence of measurements which Le Corbusier used to achieve harmony in his architectural compositions. Le Modulor was published in 1950 and after meeting with success, Le Corbusier went on to publish Modulor 2 in 1955. In many of Le Le Corbusier’s most notable buildings, including the Chapel at Ronchamp and the Unité d’habitation, evidence of his Modulor system can be seen. These two volumes form an important and integral part of Le Corbusier’s theoretical writings.

Birkhauser Ein kleines Haus
Die Villa le Lac, die seit 2016 zum Weltkulturerbe zählt, hat Le Corbusier 1925 am Genfer See für seine Eltern projektiert und gebaut. Aufgrund seiner sparsamen Raumdisposition bezeichnete er es selbst als „Wohnmaschine“. Bis heute ist es der moderne Prototyp des „kleinen Hauses“ geblieben, das mit einem Minimum an Grundfläche und ineinander übergehenden Räumen alle Funktionen des Wohnens erfüllt. Das Buch erscheint erstmals in drei getrennten Sprachausgaben und folgt der Originalausgabe, in der Le Corbusier die Geschichte des Gebäudes dokumentiert hat: mit Fotos, Skizzen und einem poetischen Text. Sie greift dabei aber auch auf die Originalfotografien zurück und bietet so eine maßgeblich verbesserte Abbildungsqualität; zudem enthält sie ein Nachwort der Architekturhistorikerin Guillemette Morel-Journel.
