Following the master architect’s drawing campaign as a young man. Voyage Le Corbusier collects for the first time a compendium of sketchbook drawings and watercolors of Charles-Edouard Jeanneret—a young student who would go onto become the singularly influential modernist architect Le Corbusier. Between 1907 and 1911, Jeanneret traveled throughout Europe and the Mediterranean, carrying an array of drawing supplies and documenting all that he saw: classical ruins, details of interiors, vibrant landscapes, and the people and objects that populated them. Jacob Brillhart excavates the "visual thinking" of the twentieth century's pioneer architect, reproducing a selection of 175 drawings from these early sketchbooks. For Brillhart, the images themselves are the best argument for the importance of seeing and "drawing in order to see" —not only because they show the roots of Le Corbusier's later practice but also for their relevance to the study of design today, which tends to jettison drawing instruction in favor of computer-based modeling software. Brillhart traces Jeanneret's steps, revisiting architectural history while providing a physical and intellectual road map for students, travelers, and lovers of art and architecture. Featuring dozens of never-before-published drawings and others reproduced here for the first time in full color or available only in disparate sources, Voyage Le Corbusier is at once a critical introduction to Jeanneret's budding practice and a richly detailed visual travelogue. Brillhart ably guides us through Jeanneret's itinerary and, at the same time, the development of his compositional abilities, the sharpening of his eye, and the widening of his incomparable artistic sensibility.

Throughout his life, Le Corbusier always carried sketchbooks in which he accumulated observations, calculations, notes, architectural drawings, and sketches of works and projects. As a whole, these constitute a source of extraordinary interest. The architect's reflections come to life, creation appears in its nascent state. In and of themselves, the sketchbooks represent a sort of fundamental "latent work," for which the finished work, whatever its mode of expression, is only a secondary outcome. Hoping to make these works accessible to everyone, in 1981 the Le Corbusier Foundation in Paris authorized the publication of 73 sketchbooks from the years 1914 to 1964, comprising a major portion of the Le Corbusier legacy. Later, the foundation was able to acquire six of the earliest sketchbooks, which correspond to the period of the voyage to the east in 1910-1911, and which were not part of the original bequest. In their current state, Charles-Edouard Jeanneret's notations for Voyage d'Orient begin in sketchbook numbered "V" in Le Corbusier's hand; the first pages, however, correspond to his 1910 trip to Germany. The four preceding sketchbooks, which have not been found, undoubtedly refer to the beginning of that voyage. Nevertheless, these six sketchbooks, which have been only recently discovered, cover the entire period of Voyage d'Orient, a time now known to have been exceptionally significant in the formation of the architect who would become Le Corbusier. Consequently, these sketchbooks constitute a homogeneous totality of fundamental importance that justifies their publication. This led to an agreement with the Italian publishing house, Electa, to produce a facsimile edition. Professor Giuliano Gresleri, a respected scholar of Le Corbusier's early years and author of the work Viaggio in Oriente, oversaw the general presentation of these sketchbooks and the editing of the explanatory notes. For its part, the Le Corbusier Foundation saw to the transcription of the texts, the interpretation of which, from manuscript form, was often difficult.

Available again after many years, the legendary travel diary kept by the young Le Corbusier on his journey through the Balkans in 1911. This is the legendary travel diary that the twenty-four-year-old Charles-Édouard Jeanneret (Le Corbusier) kept during his formative journey through Southern, Central, and Eastern Europe in 1911. In a flood of highly personal impressions and visual notations, it records his first contact with the vernacular architecture that would preoccupy him for the rest of his life and his first sight of the monuments he most admired: the mosque complexes, the Acropolis, and the Parthenon. Le Corbusier himself suppressed publication of this book during his lifetime; after his death, the text was released as “an unprefaced last confession.” Journey to the East can be read as a bildungsroman by a young author who would go on to become one of the greatest architects of the twentieth century. It is very much a story of awakening and a voyage of discoveries, recording a seven-month journey that took Le Corbusier from Berlin through Vienna, Budapest, Bucharest, Istanbul, Athos, Athens, Naples, and Rome, among other places. Le Corbusier considered this journey the most significant of his life; the compulsion he felt to record images and impressions established a practice he would continue for the rest of his career. For the next five decades, he would fill notebooks with ideas and sketches; he never stopped deriving inspiration from the memories of his first contact with the East, making this volume as much a historical document as a personal confession and diary. Ivan Žaknić's highly regarded translation was first published by The MIT Press in 1987 but has been unavailable for many years.

in1952 Le Corbusier was commissioned "to dwell in the silence of men of prayer and study and to construct a church for them". The result was his impressive Convent of La Tourette, marking a significant step in modern religious architecture. Beginning with the rectangular form common to the Cirstercian monastic tradition, he created a building whose stark form contrasts beautifully with the organic elements of the interior court and the grasslands surrounding it. The church itself is a model of simplicity, the cement has been left rough and the well located sources of light evoke a feeling of silence and reflection. The order s precept of prayer, study and reflection is aptly mirrored in the architecture. Like the other Le Corbusier Guides published by Birkhäuser, this volume provides a wealth of plans, details, photographs and information on this building which today is also a conference centre.
