Le Corbusier

Le Corbusier was a Swiss-born architect, designer, and writer associated with modern architecture and new approaches to housing and urban planning. Le Corbusier's buildings explored concrete construction, open planning, proportional systems, and relationships among light, circulation, and collective life. Villa Savoye France, Unité d'Habitation Marseille, and Chapel of Ronchamp France demonstrate contrasting domestic, communal, and sculptural architectural approaches.
