A Paris penthouse as a machine for amusement
Wim Van Den Bergh’s illustrated architectural history centers on one building: Charles de Beistegui’s penthouse in late-1920s Paris, designed by Le Corbusier and Pierre Jeanneret. The framing question—what it takes to make a house into a “machine for amusement”—connects the project’s residential function with its role as a designed setting for leisure. By concentrating on a single, celebrated yet enigmatic residence, the book offers a focused lens on architecture, its clients, and the purposes a home can serve.
