’Le Corbusier and Lucien Hervé: The Architect & the Photographer - A Dialogue’, by Jacques Sbriglio, documents the 15-year collaboration of modernist architect Le Corbusier with photographer Lucien Hervé. The lensman with ’an architect’s soul’ shot not only Corbu’s most iconic buildings but his personal residences as well. Le Corbusier, who rarely allowed himself to be photographed, is seen here in front of his sculpture ’The Totem’ at his apartment on rue Nungesser-et-Coli in Paris
One of two Maisons Jaoul in Neuilly-sur-Seine, outside Paris. Le Corbusier completed construction on the brick and concrete buildings in 1955. The interiors were painted in brilliant primary colours, which Hervé’s photos don’t capture
