Vers une architecture.

Le Corbusier, 1887-1965 · 1923 · Paris : G. Crès et Cie · 30 pictures

Vers une architecture is a 1923 architecture treatise by Le Corbusier (1887-1965), published in Paris by G. Crès et Cie and addressed to architects and general readers interested in functionalism. The four pictures are line drawings of plans, a section, and a view through a doorway, with hatched shading and sparse labels. For a designer they show how architectural plans and sections were drawn in simple black linework, with dense hatching used to suggest light and mass.
