Towards an Architecture

A masterpiece that sheds light on modern architecture, from Le Corbusier, the master of architecture of the 20th century, who worked tirelessly to reach the reality behind architecture, to which he was passionately attached throughout his life, and who turned his life into an exciting adventure: "Towards an Architecture".
In this work, which is a manifesto, Le Corbusier asks architects to reject the styles that he describes as lies and to stop copying old models that have been emptied of all their vital essence. With great enthusiasm, he calls them to return to the living sources of architecture - whose basic principles are often forgotten or ignored - to simple, basic geometric forms.
Considering that as we enter the 21st century, the modern architectural movement has turned into a giant grinder that devours the environment in which people live, traveling in time with the principles advocated by Le Corbusier will refresh our memory in terms of seeing where we have come from and will enable us to analyze his works better.
"Architecture is an artistic reality, an emotional phenomenon, outside of construction problems, beyond them... Architecture is the pure creation of the soul..."
