Towards a New Architecture, Le Corbusier, 1986

This book is listed as 1986, as this was the when the first edition of this version was published. It is unsure which edition this is, but new enough to have a website listed for the publisher.

The book contains seven essays, all but one of which were published in the magazine L'Espirit Nouveau beginning in 1921. Each essay dismisses the contemporary trends of eclecticism and art deco, replacing them with architecture that was meant to be more than a stylistic experiment; rather, an architecture that would fundamentally change how humans interacted with buildings. This new mode of living derived from a new spirit defining the industrial age, demanding a rebirth of architecture based on function and a new aesthetic based on pure form.
