"Aircraft (Hardcover)" is a collection of works by Le Corbusier, an architect born in Switzerland and active in France. Needless to say, Le Corbusier is a master of modern architecture that represents the 20th century. The footprint left by Le Corbusier in urban planning, housing and furniture design is immeasurable. This book "Aircraft" is a collection of works that can be said to be unique to Le Corbusier. The first edition was published in 1953 and has been reprinted twice so far. This book is a hardcover English version published in 1988. Fascinated by the state-of-the-art technology possessed by airplanes carrying the dreams of people flying in the sky and the functional beauty without waste that has been scraped off, Corbusier incorporated that technology and design into architecture, and on the contrary, boarded an airplane. It is said that he designed the city plan inspired by the earth seen from the sky. While taking charge of the layout and text of the photographs and incorporating his own sketches, the structure and functional beauty of the airplane, the landscape seen from the sky, and the charm of the airplane flying freely in the sky are fully introduced.
