Features: In May 1911, the young painter and architect Le Corbusier began his five-month journey to the East, passing through Eastern Europe, the Balkans, Turkey, Greece, and Italy. This book is a record of that trip. Throughout the book, it reflects his intuitive discoveries, passionate admiration, and profound reflections on the beauty of Eastern art and life. This is Le Corbusier's book, and also the last book he requested to be republished before his death. Le Corbusier's great artistic journey began here. The Eastern elements reflected in his architectural designs, the emphasis on the harmonious relationship between humans and nature, and the understanding of architectural symbolism can all be traced back to the original origins in this book.
