Le Corbusier (Architect known for using béton brut)

Le Corbusier was a pioneering architect known for his modernist designs and innovative use of concrete, particularly "béton brut," which means "raw concrete" in French. This approach emphasizes the natural, textured appearance of concrete, highlighting its material qualities rather than covering it up. Le Corbusier’s work focused on functional, streamlined structures that often integrated open spaces and new urban ideas. His designs aimed to improve living conditions through modern technology and architectural efficiency, influencing countless buildings worldwide and shaping the development of contemporary architecture.
