Le Corbusier's formative years by Brooks, H. Allen

我看到的是台大圖書館的精裝本
這本在1996年出版時說 其中95%是"新出土"之資料 (研究20多年 1973年起)
包括他父親的日記 學校(學生-教師期)的資料作品
許多朋友的訪談


作者坦承 他不清楚傳主在20歲左右的許多書寫 都以"墓地 墓碑"等為念
(hc案--這或許是好題目 譬如說傳主發現許多地方活人死者的世界是"交錯的 天天打招呼....)
　也知到他在1910年就很善用照相機 不過整本書都沒複製相片

傳主最喜歡的19世紀畫家

雕塑家為羅丹
法國教堂的post cards等都會買
