<p>A huge influence on big Hamptons builder Charles Gwathmey, not to mention on many others, was Swiss genius Charles douard Jeanneret-Gris, better known as Le Corbusier (1887-1965). Columbia University architectural historian Kenneth Frampton, author of the standard textbook Modern Architecture, here offers his entry in the T&amp;H World of Art series. The book covers Le Corbusier's life and projects, from blocks of the 1920s Ville Contemporaine to Ronchamp Cathedral in Notre Dame-du-Haut to work in India and for Harvard. As a short introduction, it complements Charles Jenck's massive, opinionated Le Corbusier and the Continual Revolution in Architecture from Marsilio last year.</p>

That many of Buckminster Fuller's schemes remained dreams overlooks his importance as a teacher and thinker about architecture and urbanism, and his concern with the environment and the role of technology in improving the duality of life, mark him out as a man before his time.

She has worked in London, for Harrods and Joseph, in France, Switzerland, Germany, Italy and the United States.
