LE CORBUSIER

Opus 1

Eveline Perroud

“Building should strengthen, architecture should stir the emotions,” said Charles-Edouard Jeanneret, better known as the famed architect Le Corbusier. Swiss photographer Eveline Perroud’s Opus 1 Le Corbusier vividly documents the 2000 restoration of Le Corbusier’s first project, La Maison Blanche, a home he built for his parents in La Chaux-de-Fonds in 1912, when he was just 25 years old. With text by the architect Martin Veith and a fascinating conversation with Lucien Hervé, who photographed the home for Le Corbusier when it was first built, this richly illustrated, large-format book brings the legendary architect’s Modernist work to life.
