Overview

Villa le Lac, which was designated a World Heritage in 2 , was designed and built by Le Corbusier as Geneva lakeside home for his parents in 925. Because of its spare arrangement of spaces, he referred to it as a ""dwelling machine."" Even today it remains the modern prototype of the ""small house"" that fulfills all of the functions of a residence with a minimum of floor area and seamless transitions between spaces. For the first time, this book is appearing in three separate language editions, following the original edition in which Le Corbusier documented the history of the building: with photographs, sketches and a poetic text. Access to the original photographs allowed the quality of the illustrations in this edition to be improved significantly.
