    About the Book

    Edit

    IN 1927, THE GREAT SWISS-FRENCH ARCHITECT LE CORBUSIER completed a house in the Paris suburb of Garches. Twenty years later, British scholar Colin Rowe’s essay “The Mathematics of the Ideal Villa” brought Garches to the foreground. And Garches—as architects refer to the house—has stayed there ever since. GARCHES 1234 picks up where Rowe's essay left off and throws bold light on Le Corbusier’s assertion that at Garches, more than any of his other projects, “proportion ruled absolutely there, as absolute mistress.” Architect Jef7rey Hildner published an early version of this essay in the refereed Journal of Architectural Education. Here the essay appears in its final and fully illustrated form.

    Sacramento, California

    "I SEE THE ROLE OF ART AS A FORCE THAT CHALLENGES AND PROVOKES THOUGHT." —JEF7REY HILDNER, DISTURBANCE Jef7rey Hildner is an award-winning architect, painter, and writer. Through all his creative endeavors, including 11 books, he passionately explores the architecture of art and life. You can discover his unique buildings, paintings, essays, screenplays, and books in many venues, from online platforms like IMDb and Internet Archive to print platforms like Journal of Architectural Education and Global Architecture Houses. He paints as alias Henry Trucks and writes as aliases Eduardo Ortizan and Michelangelo A. Roland Slate, aka M.A.R.S. Like the first architects―oracles, astronomer-priests―Jef7rey quests to grok the Architecture of the Form & Story of Reality. And give artistic expression to his vision. He draws inspiration from the ancient Greek myth about the protagonist Joseph Campbell called "the hero of the way of thought"―the architect of the Labyrinth and Wings. Daedalus.
