Abstract How did Le Corbusier make the transition from mountain boy to modernist master? How did he develop his architectural persona and his design identity, and how did he communicate it to maximum effect? British journalist, author and broadcaster Jonathan Glancey leads us through some of the critical moments in Le Corbusier's rise to architectural immortality.
