The Legacy of Le Corbusier

A Pioneer of Modern Architecture

From Gio Ponti's Linea Diamante and Le Corbusier's Voiture Minimum to Buckminster Fuller's Dymaxion car, the influence of Le Corbusier on contemporary architecture is immeasurable.

A Modernist Mastermind

The name Le Corbusier is synonymous with the minimalist and futuristic architecture he created. In 1929, the same year that the Villa Savoye was under construction, Le Corbusier—the pope of Modernism—also penned a visionary essay that explored the future of transportation.

The automobile, in particular, was heralded as a beacon of modernity and enthralled the poets of progress. Le Corbusier believed that the car had the potential to revolutionize urban life, offering freedom and accessibility for all.
