Synopsis:

Le Corbusier (1887-1965) was the greatest architect of the twentieth century and designer of several of its most iconic buildings  the Unite d'Habitation, Ronchamp Pilgrimage Church, La Tourette, Chandigarh and the Carpenter Center at Harvard. He was known as the 'Picasso of Architecture' and became the first global architectural brand. Women exerted a major influence on his life and career: his mother, to whom he was devoted and corresponded with every week; his long-suffering wife, who forbade him to talk about architecture at the dinner table; and scores of lovers - Parisian street-walkers, others whom he met as casual encounters in London and New York; others still who gave him the tenderness he craved. He was devoted to one mistress for 30 years. His lovers included, allegedly, the dancer Jospehine Baker, the sculptor Mitzi Cunliffe, the architects Minette de Silva and Jane Drew, and, most intriguingly, Marilyn Monroe and Christine Keeler - although the latter denies the link. This is the story of just some of the prominent women in the architect's life - Le Corbusier's Women.
