"The Michaelangelo of the 20th Century"






Le Corbusier. . .  is the best architect of the 20th century. He was born in Switzerland but became a French citizen. He was not only a famous architect because he was also an artist and writer. He was known as an pioneer for Modern Architecture. His work spands from Europe.India, and America. Centre Le Corbusier is a art museum dedicated to him.  

The Villa La Roche is my favorite building by Le Corbusier. He designed it for a Swiss banker/art collector. The whole house is like an art gallery or architectural promenade. Le Corbusier was inspired by his trip to Acropolis in 1911. When you walk in there is blues, whites, and reds that provide color. The modern yet simple shapes in the house make it timeless and amazing. La Roches art hangs all over his home.
