Le Corbusier

Charles-Édouard Jeanneret-Gris (France, 1887 - 1965) , known as Le Corbusier, was one of the most influential architects of the 20th century, a visionary whose ideas shaped modernity. In addition to designing buildings, he dedicated the last 30 years of his life to painting, exploring styles such as Cubism, Orphism and Fauvism, where he experimented with color in a more free manner than in his buildings.

For Le Corbusier, painting was a creative laboratory, a space to test techniques, forms, and styles that often influenced his architecture. Born in Switzerland, he moved to Paris at 29, adopted the name Le Corbusier (a play on his grandfather's surname Lecorbésier), and revolutionized architecture with the use of reinforced concrete and utopian concepts such as "La machine à habiter."
Among his innovations is the Modulor , a system of proportions that synthesized his design vision.
