Architectural context

About Le Corbusier

Le Corbusier (1887–1965) was born Charles-Édouard Jeanneret in La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland. His work includes architecture, urban planning, painting and writing. The UNESCO listing of his architectural work brings together 17 sites that illustrate different contributions to the Modern Movement.

His Five Points of a New Architecture offer one way to look at the buildings: pilotis, a free plan, a free facade, horizontal windows and a roof garden. Villa Savoye provides a reference for these ideas. Compare it with the collective housing and religious buildings in this catalogue, where scale, materials and the organisation of daily life take different forms.
