{"product_id":"9780892368990","title":"Toward an Architecture","description":"\u003cp\u003ePublished in 1923, Toward an Architecture had an immediate impact on architects throughout Europe and remains a foundational text for students and professionals. Le Corbusier urges readers to cease thinking of architecture as a matter of historical styles and instead open their eyes to the modern world. Simultaneously a historian, critic, and prophet, he provocatively juxtaposes views of classical Greece and Renaissance Rome with images of airplanes, cars, and ocean liners. Le Corbusier's slogans—such as \"the house is a machine for living in\"—and philosophy changed how his contemporaries saw the relationship between architecture, technology, and history. This edition includes a new translation of the original text, a scholarly introduction, and background notes that illuminate the text and illustrations.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Getty Publications","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47019484020976,"sku":"9780892368990","price":50.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780892368990_p0.jpg?v=1763851177","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780892368990","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
