Le Corbusier may well be called the greatest architect of the 20th century, but from where exactly did his radical ideas derive? He collected texts, images, and ideas from a wide range of sources, then combined and juxtaposed them. The results were extraordinary, shocking contemporaries. In effect, this radical approach became his signature.

Now, based on his 1924 publication Vers Une Architecture, experience an archaeological dig through his thought processes, and discover the sources, books and authors which generated his powerful ideas.
