Raumplan versus Plan Libre was originally published as a catalogue to accompany the exhibition of the same name in 1987, the year that celebrated the 100th anniversary of the birth of Le Corbusier.
This new edition, with major contributions by Beatriz Colomina, Jan de Heer and Max Risselada among others, looks anew at the respective merits of two giants of Modern Architecture. As well as featuring writings by the architects in question, the book illustrates the evolution of the work of Loos and Le Corbusier, with detailed reference to their domestic projects, ranging from the Strasser House (1919) to the Last House (1932), and from Maison Domino (1915) to Villa Savoye (1932).
This book, with its excellent overviews and analyses, will give the reader a deeper insight into the motivations of these two architects, so near yet so far away.
