The book describes the story of Clarte, Le Corbusier's first apartment building, continuing the narrative into the 2 st century. The steel skeleton building completed in Geneva in 93 / 932 is a prototype of the Moderne style and a precursor of the Unite d'Habitation. The building was neglected for many decades and not listed as a historic building until the 99 s. In 2 7 the external envelope was repaired as the first step, followed by refurbishment of the interior, in which building preservation requirements were taken into account in an exemplary manner. The building log book by the architects and structural engineers is illustrated with numerous new and historic drawings and photographs, and has been supplemented with an account of the building's history. The renovated building is presented in large photographs.
