Le Corbusier's "in his own words"


Books that are reviewed are from Le Corbusier's book entitled "In his own words" introduction for children.

This book contains the discovery and a surprise from one of the most mysterious and least known in the history of architecture.

The book contains a preface and introduction to the ideas of architecture for children ten years or more will provide a sense of awe of the architectural, human life, an architect, his work and where he lived.

One of it is that there is a human figure with one arm raised is a recurring image. Modulor Man, the mascot of Le Corbusier's system to remind you of the universe.
Man Modulor is intended as a universal system of proportions, the human form, and beauty into a single system.

This book introduces to children early on to architecture. Where architecture is not just a building that stands alone, but building that has meaning, beauty and balance with nature.
