Le Corbusier and the Maisons Jaoul

Caroline Maniaque Benton

Le Corbusier and the Maisons Jaoul is the first book-length, detailed examination of these architecturally significant houses. Built for André Jaoul and his son, the Maisons Jaoul encompassed four years of intense design activity. Using previously unpublished sources, author Caroline Maniaque Benton thoroughly captures Le Corbusier’s extraordinary journey of discovery. Valuable insights are gleaned from conversations between clients, draughtsmen, and craftsmen; firsthand documents; and letters in Le Corbusier’s own hand. The Maisons Jaoul emerge as both a fundamental reconsideration of domestic living and a radical reassessment of Le Corbusier’s longstanding commitment to modernism. Includes rare photographs, drawings, ephemera and plans.
