Charles Edouard Jeanneret déclarait au soir de sa vie En vérité, [...] le fond de ma recherche et de ma production intellectuelle a son secret dans la pratique ininterrompue de la peinture . Ce catalogue de l'exposition présentée au Moderna Museet de Stockholm s'intéresse à l'oeuvre picturale et plastique de Le Corbusier.

Cette monographie est la première à retracer toute la carrière de Marcel Gautherot depuis ses débuts en tant qu'apprenti architecte et photographe où il s'intéresse au Bauhaus et à l'Esprit Nouveau en suivant les travaux de Walter Gropius, Ludwig Mies Van der Rohe et Le Corbusier. Dans les années 30, il abandonne l'architecture pour se concacrer pleinement à la photo, et voyage beaucoup notamment au Brésil. Ces 150 photos accompagnées d'un texte de Michel Frizot présentent ses célèbres photos d'architecture, mais aussi des images moins connues, comme ses portraits, ses paysages ou des images de cérémonies religieuses et carnavals auxquels il a pu assister.

De très nombreux documents d'archives, parmi lesquels on remarquera des dessins rehaussés de gouache et d'aquarelle, font de ce catalogue un véritable livre de référence.

À Paris, Anvers ou Brême, Atelier Kempe Thill travaille sur la typologie de la villa urbaine. Cette forme architecturale aujourd'hui très répandue dans l'Ouest de l'Europe est une émanation de l'urbanisme allemand des années 80, et constitue un croisement entre les grandes villas de quartier d'ambassade édifiées au XIXe et les programmes d'habitat collectif.

Le Corbusier is widely acknowledged as the most influential architect of the twentieth century. As extensively researched and documented as his works are, however, they have never been photographically surveyed until now. Photographer Richard Pare has crossed the globe for years to document the extant works of Le Corbusier--from his first villas in Switzerland to his mid-career works in his role as the first global architect in locations as far-flung as Argentina and Russia, and his late works, including his sole American project, at Harvard University, and an extensive civic plan for Chandigarh
