Description

Le Corbusier (1887-1965)
Swiss-French architect, designer, painter, urban planner, writer, and one of the pioneers of what is now called modern architecture. He was born in Switzerland and became a French citizen in 1930. His career spanned five decades, and he designed buildings in Europe, Japan, India, and North and South America.
Dedicated to providing better living conditions for the residents of crowded cities, Le Corbusier was influential in urban planning, and was a founding member of the Congrès International d'Architecture Moderne (CIAM). Le Corbusier prepared the master plan for the city of Chandigarh in India, and contributed specific designs for several buildings there, specially the government buildings.
On 17 July 2016, seventeen projects by Le Corbusier in seven countries were inscribed in the list of UNESCO World Heritage Sites as The Architectural Work of Le Corbusier, an Outstanding Contribution to the Modern Movement.

Cher Monsieur,
Merci de votre gentil mot du 31 juillet. Vous voyez que je n'y réponds pas de suite. Toutefois je voudrais pouvoir vous donner l'occasion de fixer utilement l'intérêt que vous portez aux choses du domaine bâti. Et pour cela, je vais vous mettre en touche avec L'ASCORAL (que j'ai fondé), groupement qui publie son premier livre cette semaine chez Denoël : "Les 3 établissements humains".
Vous aurez des nouvelles utiles.
Soignez-vous bien. Tenez-vous prêt à entrer en pleine bagarre en faveur d'une vie généreuse et joyeusement active et productrice.
Ecrivez à l'occasion.
Et croyez à mes meilleurs sentiments.
Le Corbusier
