Beschreibung
For Le Corbusier, the moving pictures of cinema were both stimulating and unsettling. In the darkened movie theater, he encounters not only an inspiring new mode of seeing, but also an enviably effective device for affecting the emotions of the masses, which exposes the possibilities and limitations of architecture. Spanning an arc from early theaters for silent movies to the expansive Cinemascope spectacles of the 1960s, this volume presents the first comprehensive biographical research to trace the influence of the cinematographic experience on the thinking and work of arguably the most influential architect of the twentieth century. - Synthesis of architecture and film theory as well as the history of 20th-century architecture and film The first monograph on Le Corbusier and film
