Description: A collective work gathering eight authors from five countries, and prefaced by the philosopher Emmanuel Fay. It takes a calmly lucid look at a monument in the history of the twentieth century -- the architect and urban planner Le Corbusier. Researchers, writers or journalists, all animated by the same quest for truth -- his relations with French fascism;  his lack of interest in social issues; his biological, hierarchical and eugenic vision of humanity; his normative conception of the body and space; the legend that he forged at the price of a few lies; and the opposition of his followers to any critical analysis of his ideas. Each text takes the time to study all these facets from an unexpected angle.
