Le Corbusier and Costantino Nivola

This book tells the story of Le Corbusier’s New York cosmopolitan family in the context of the American naturalization of the European architectural diaspora and in the context of the drive to abstraction of New York School. It contains the last interviews with Nivola’s wife Ruth Guggenheim, and with Nivola’s architecture student assistant, Peter Chermayeff, as well as excerpts from of Le Corbusier’s correspondence.
