 | | Planned in 1930/31 in extremely difficult circumstances, it is a minor miracle that the Cité Internationale Universitaire Swiss halls of residence, when built, so closely resembled Le Corbusier's original innovative design. |
 | | This monograph is the result of years of dedicated research into every aspect of the building - socio-political premises, planning, design and construction, the aesthetic and functional achievements it represents, and Le Corbusier's own renovations in 1948, 1953 and 1957. |
 | | The author, Ivan Zaknic, Professor of Architecture at Lehigh University and Visiting Fellow of Princeton University is a prominent Le Corbusier expert. |
