1933009619Paris: Les éditions G. Crès et Cie 1933 8vo 24.5 cm 88 2 pp. Printed wrappers wrappers slightly rubbed small tear at the tail of the spine. Uncut copy of this polemical pamphlet by Le Corbusier Charles-Édouard Jeanneret 1887-1965 one of the central figures of twentieth-century modernist architecture and urbanism. Published in the Collection de "L'Esprit Nouveau" the text constitutes a vigorous defense of the modern architectural movement against attacks from academic and institutional circles. It was written as a direct response to a campaign led by the architect Gaston Umbdenstock professor at the École Polytechnique and studio chief at the École des Beaux-Arts who on 14 March 1932 delivered a widely publicized denunciation of modern architecture at the Salle Wagram before an audience convened by the Chambers of Commerce with the support of the Institut de France. Le Corbusier interprets this offensive as representing the interests of traditional building trades threatened by new construction methods such as steel framing reinforced concrete and industrialized techniques that were transforming architecture. The pamphlet opens with the declaration that it introduces no new doctrine but serves purely as a "defense" warning that the real danger to the modern movement lies less in overt academic opposition than in the infiltration of academic attitudes within modernism itself. The immediate occasion for the publication was a request from supporters in Algiers where Le Corbusier had recently delivered well-attended lectures on architecture and urbanism for a response to Umbdenstock's attack which had been widely circulated there. A vivid document of the ideological conflicts surrounding modern architecture in the early 1930s. Les éditions G. Crès et Cie paperback
