About Toward an Architecture
Vers une architecture is a 1923 collection of essays written by French architect Le Corbusier advocating for the tenets of modern architecture. It dismissed eclecticism and Gothic architecture as mere stylistic experiments, instead advocating for fundamentally changing how humans interacted with buildings. It claimed that the industrial age demanded an architecture and aesthetics based purely on the relationship between function and form. It is notable for positing that architecture can help solve social issues, a key aim of early modern architecture. The manifesto is sometimes referred to simply as Vers in English.
