Happy Birthday Le Corbusier!

Today is Le Corbusier's 130th birthday! 130 years passed after the birth of Swiss-born French architect Le Corbusier - literally known Charles-Edouard Jeanneret - architect, theorist of architecture, engineer, designer, and painter. And, there is no need to make fancy sentences for him, he is the iconic, revolutionizing name of modernism. 

Corbusier, one of the most important architects of the 20th century buildings, is well known that the influence of his architecture will never disappear. Unité d'habitation in Marseille, France (1945) is the most influential Brutalist building of all time, which became a suitable model for standard housing across Europe, Villa Savoye et loge du jardiniere in Poissy, France (1928), Complexe du Capitole in Chandigarh, India (1952), and many more...

And, in 2016, UNESCO added 17 Le Corbusier projects to its world heritage list

Happy Birthday Le Corbusier!
