Le Corbusier |  |
Charles-Édouard Jeanneret-Gris, known as Le Corbusier, was a Swiss architect, urban planner, decorator, painter, sculptor, and author who became a naturalized French citizen. He was born on October 6, 1887 in La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland, and died on August 27, 1965 in Roquebrune-Cap-Martin, France. He was one of the main representatives of the modern movement, along with, among others, Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, Walter Gropius, Alvar Aalto, and Theo van Doesburg. He also worked with Robert Mallet-Stevens. Le Corbusier also worked in urban planning and design. He is known for being the inventor of the "unit of habitation," a concept he began working on in the 1920s, an expression of theoretical thinking on collective housing. "The unit of habitation of conforming size" (the name given by Le Corbusier) would not be built until the reconstruction after the Second World War, in five different examples, in Marseille, Briey-en-Forêt, Rezé, Firminy, and Berlin. It would become a solution to the housing problems of the post-war period. His design envisaged all the community facilities necessary for life—daycare, laundry, swimming pool, school, shops, library, meeting places—in a single building. Le Corbusier's architectural work, which includes seventeen sites (ten of which are in France, the others being spread across three continents), was listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site on July 17, 2016. A European cultural itinerary entitled "Destinations Le Corbusier: architectural walks" was created in early May 2019. The work and thought of Le Corbusier were particularly influential on the post-war generations of architects and widely disseminated, before entering, with the period of postmodernism, into a phase of significant and regular contestation6. He is the father of modern architecture, being the first to replace exterior load-bearing walls with reinforced concrete pillars placed inside buildings. From then on, the facades no longer supporting the upper floors, it is possible to dress them with light partitions and multiple and very large windows. He then plays with shapes and spaces, without having to take into account any alignment linked to the weight of the upper floors, this constraint having disappeared. His main strength was to drastically reduce construction times. He was the first to use basic techniques and materials, allowing an entire house, on several floors, to be built in a few days, such as his first complex, the Frugès estate in Pessac, in the suburbs of Bordeaux, a city composed of fifty small buildings and built at a rate of approximately one new building every week. | |
