The first in a series of five volumes on the writings of Xenakis, a noted composer, architect and music theorist, addresses the connections between architecture and music while analyzing the
tutelage and influence of mentor Le Corbusier. Translated and compiled by three leading Xenakis scholars, this book uses previously unpublished material to expose students and fellow scholars
to new descriptions of texts, projects and architectural realizations. Appendices provide a synoptic table of Xenakis' life and works, a catalog of his architectural projects and a selected
bibliography. Annotation 穢2009 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
