Vers Une Architecture




''Vers une architecture'' is usually translated as ''Towards a New Architecture'', the newness of his proposal being clear from context. It is a collection of Essay s by Le Corbusier , appearing in the French journal '' L'Esprit Nouveau '', that were finally collated in ''Vers une architecture'', first published in 1923 .

In this collection, Le Corbusier set out his theory for an Architecture for the Modern Age . Briefly, he espoused the cause of an architecture that would be true to its time, a product of its own age rather than a throwback to Classical or Renaissance architecture dictums.

Several decades after appearing in print, ''Vers une architecture'' remains one of the seminal texts of Modern Architecture .
