Le Corbusier Journey to the East Edited by Ivan Zatnik
Le Corbusier Journey to the East Edited by Ivan Zatnik is a 270-page softcover published by The MIT Press in 1989 and this is the stated fourth printing of 1994. The overall condition is good--there is the name of the former owner written, in ink, on the flyleaf and some faded pencil marks on the back page. Book Summary This is the legendary travel diary that the twenty-four-year-old Charles-Edouard Jeanneret (Le Courbusier) kept during his first journey through central and eastern Europe. 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 with the monuments he most admired: the mosque complexes, the Acropolis, and the Parthenon.
