Two interviews with Berthold Lubetkin, April‐May 1974
Berthold Lubetkin (1901–1990) was a leading exponent of modern architecture in England in the 1930s.

Insights into the Daily Life of Le Corbusier
The resources available for research at the Fondation Le Corbusier are many and varied. Among these, the agendas (diaries) offer particularly intriguing insights into the public and private life of Le Corbusier. These diaries present a number of difficulties to the researcher: the notes are often difficult to read and even more difficult to interpret. The organisation of the diaries has to be understood. The pages of the diaries are undated. Esta…
