They co-signed many of the original essays as "Le Corbusier-Saugnier," and Ozenfant had been a close friend of Corbusier. Le Corbusier co-owned L'Esprit Nouveau with fellow purist painter Amédée Ozenfant. This new mode of living derived from a new spirit defining the industrial age, demanding a rebirth of architecture based on function and a new aesthetic based on pure form. Each essay dismisses the contemporary trends of eclecticism and art deco, replacing them with architecture that was meant to be more than a stylistic experiment rather, an architecture that would fundamentally change how humans interacted with buildings. The polemical book contains seven essays, all but one of which were published in the magazine L'Esprit Nouveau beginning in 1921.
