Descrição do livro

The Millowners' Association Building in Ahmedabad, designed by Le Corbusier and completed in 1954, has rarely been published, but is nevertheless considered an important milestone in the architect's work. In particular, the building influenced his later work, such as the Carpenter Center for the Visual Arts at Harvard. This book documents the building and relates it to Le Corbusier's theoretical work, especially Vers une architecture.
The significance of key figures such as Paul Valéry and John Ruskin for Le Corbusier's work is explained. Characteristic design elements such as the promenade architecturale and the use of brise-soleils are explored.

In addition to numerous scaled drawings, newly produced models clarify the most important design aspects of the building.


  • Le Corbusier's 1954 building for the Millowners' Association in Ahmedabad is an understudied key work
  • With attractive photographs, new drawings and models created especially for the publication
  • The structure exemplifies characteristic elements of Le Corbusier's work and development as an architect
