Abstract: "The book is essential reading for anybody who is interested in the way the relationship between the sexes impacts on architecture, and in the personal and professional life of Le Corbusier. Encompassing much new material - including the Provisional Theatre at La Sainte Baume, designed by Le Corbusier but never before published - it provides a valuable resource for those who remain unconvinced by standard histories of this enigmatic and complex figure."--Jacket.
