'The man who designed the 20th century - [Le Corbusier] arguably had more of an influence on the form of the modern world than any other architect... You couldn't make a book like this about just any architect. Beyond the architecture, reveals a great deal about the man himself. It all points to a life lived enviably fully.' – Guardian  'Formidable and wide-ranging ... Le Corbusier Le Grand is a feast ... Every page is dense with ideas... A source book for the modern world.' – Jonathan Meades, New Statesman 'The impact of all the illustrations is undoubtedly fascinating – a real joy [ ...] to browse through – conveys the experience of a day at a really well organised archive.' – Building Design 'As visually arresting as it is thought-provoking ... An archival achievement of the highest order... Essential reading for those with even a fleeting interest in modernist architecture.' – The Essential Journal
