Precisions on the Present State of Architecture and City Planning

« Precisions gives English-speaking architects and students an entree into a period of Le Corbusier's work that is usually overlooked in twentieth-century surveys. (...) [This book]  not only gives us insight into a critical moment of transition in Le Corbusier's work but also reveals a dimension of this complex yet very human architect – his interest in nature and vernacular culture – that has been largely neglected in the functionalist polemics of the early Modern Movement.»  Mary McLeod, Journal of the Society of Architectural Historians, Vol. 55, No. 1 (1996)

«Das Buch ist eine Bibel. Komplex und abschweifend, erhellend und verblüffend.» Jonis Hartmann, Textem

«Rating [four stars out of five] of classics is generally not done. The rating therefore applies to the revamped version with an excellent educational forword by Tim Benton and the many (58) newly printed drawings.» Salka Hallström Bornold, FORM Nordic Magazine on Architecture and Design

“ The book is a Bible: complex and distracting, enlightening and perplexing. Le Corbusier's non-arranged spiritual matter unfolds itself as ‘streams of consciousness’ to the reader, where common threads get lost from time to time, that hands it over to the reader to find their own thread navigating through redundancy sometime, in order to finally witness and comprehend a significant part of Le Corbusier's thinking at the peak of his creative vision.” Jonis Hartmann, worldarchitecture.org
