Description

FIRST EDITION. 
ONE OF 100 NUMBERED COPIES ON ZERKALL VAT PAPER, only large paper.

LE CORBUSIER'S AUTOGRAPH ON THE WHITE ENDPAPER. 

Complete with booklet Das kleine Haus, a German translation of all the texts in the book.

The book is dedicated to the house that the architect had built to house "the old age of my father and mother, after a life of hard work".
"Drawings are used extensively alongside photographs in Une petite maison, allowing the author to emphasise the subjective and creative nature of the project by constantly reminding us of the work of the hand. Le Corbusier also reproduces a portrait of his mother that he drew himself, providing the pretext for an original plastic composition on two pages."Catherine de Smet, Le Corbusier, An architect and his books.

This first issue of Notebooks on patient research was followed in 1957 by a second devoted to La Chapelle de Ronchamp.
