Description

Few 20th century architects have been as praised, and criticized, as Le Corbusier (Charles-Édouard Jeanneret). A pioneer in modern architecture, Le Corbusier famously said, “Modern decorative art has no decoration.” In this talk, we look at Le Corbusier’s designs for private homes, public housing, churches, even a remaking of central Paris, and at his architectural and urban planning ideas that have had a lasting influence in architecture today, for better or worse.
