The monograph “La villa Jeanneret-Perret di Le Corbusier” gives an in-depth analysis of the first independently designed construction by Le Corbusier, one of the most influential architects of the 20th century. The villa Jeanneret-Perret built for his parents in 1912 is revealed to have been an extraordinarily rich experimental playground for his early reflections on architecture, ideas he would tenaciously continue to elaborate throughout his life. The research was carried out for a doctoral dissertation at the IUAV University of Venice and was honoured with the James Ackerman Prize in the History of Architecture, which resulted in its publication in 2006.
