From Le Nôtre to Le Corbusier: An Architect's Journey in Drawings

"Travel in youth has profound significance." Even in an age where cameras are ubiquitous, drawing can still help us open the doors to observation, the heart, and the world.

The author of this book, American architect Jacob Brillhart, spent over a decade studying Le Corbusier's travel sketches, using Le Corbusier's travel routes as his own pre-trip reference. Starting from Le Corbusier's birthplace, he meticulously chronicled his early travel experiences and compiled 175 travel drawings from the vast archives of the Le Corbusier Foundation in Paris. From classical ruins and interior design details to vibrant landscapes and the people and objects inhabiting them... this book offers a fresh perspective on Le Corbusier's rich and fascinating "visual thinking."
