Fifth Edition (2017)

ByJEF7REY HILDNER

Usually printed in 3 - 5 business days
IN 1927, THE GREAT SWISS-FRENCH ARCHITECT LE CORBUSIER completed a house in the Paris suburb of Garches. Twenty years later, British scholar Colin Rowe’s essay “The Mathematics of the Ideal Villa” brought Garches to the foreground. And Garches—as architects refer to the house—has stayed there ever since. GARCHES 1234 picks up where Rowe's essay left off and throws bold light on Le Corbusier’s assertion that at Garches, more than any of his other projects, “proportion ruled absolutely there, as absolute mistress.” Architect Jef7rey Hildner published an early version of this essay in the refereed Journal of Architectural Education. Here the essay appears in its final and fully illustrated form.
