Collection: Le Corbusier

His real name was Charles-Édouard Jeanneret. He is one of the greatest architects of the 20th century and is considered one of the "three great masters of modern architecture." He crystallized modern rationalism into a new aesthetic known as modernist design. At the age of 35, he co-founded an architectural firm with his cousin Pierre. He later proposed the "Five Points of New Architecture" and led the world in architecture as the advocate of the "Congress International de la Architectura Moderna (CIAM)" in the 1930s, proposing numerous urban planning proposals. After the war, he introduced his own measuring scale, the "Modulor." In addition to his work in architecture, he also produced numerous paintings, prints, sculptures, tapestries, and other works, and left behind masterpieces in the field of furniture. As an artist who aimed to create a comprehensive art form, and as one of the leading architects of the 20th century, his overwhelming achievements are increasingly being praised.
