Le Corbusier

Le Corbusier was a pioneering Swiss-French architect and urban planner known for his innovative ideas in architecture and design. He championed modernism, advocating for functional structures that prioritized light, space, and simplicity. His famous "five points of architecture" emphasized open floor plans, pilotis (supports), flat roofs, horizontal windows, and free facades. Le Corbusier believed in creating harmonious living environments through design, merging aesthetics with practicality. His works, like the Villa Savoye, reflect a balance between form and function, influencing modern architecture and urban planning, emphasizing efficiency while fostering aesthetic beauty in the built environment.
