Modern Man: The Life of Le Corbusier, Architect of Tomorrow
Modern Man is a riveting biography of Le Corbusier-a man who invented new ways of building and thinking. In Flint's telling, Corbusier isn't just the grandfather of modern architecture but a man who sought to remake the world according to his vision, dispelling the Victorian style and replacing it with something never seen before. His legacy remains controversial today, as the world grapples with how to house its skyrocketing urban population and the cult of the "starchitect" continues to grow.
