When discussing modernist architecture and design, few names carry the same weight as Le Corbusier.

A Brief History of Le Corbusier
Le Corbusier, born Charles-Édouard Jeanneret-Gris in 1887, was a pioneering architect, designer, painter, and urban planner. His contributions to modern architecture and design are immense, marked by his emphasis on functionality, simplicity, and the use of new materials and construction techniques.
He was a principal figure in the International Style, advocating for clean lines, open spaces, and the harmonious integration of buildings with their environment.
Le Corbusier’s architectural philosophy was grounded in the belief that good design improves the quality of life. Also known for his use of bold colours in architectural spaces, in 1931 he developed a distinct colour palette that paired vibrant primary colours with subtle, muted tones. This palette became a hallmark of his design philosophy, offering both aesthetic appeal and a sense of balance in any environment.
