LE CORBUSIER Deux Bouteilles, 2020

Charles-Edouard Jeanneret, known as Le Corbusier (1887–1965), was a Swiss-French architect, designer, and pioneer of modern architecture. Born in Switzerland, he became a French citizen in 1930. In 1918, he collaborated with Cubist painter Amedee Ozenfant, leading to the creation of the Purist movement, which rejected Cubism and promoted a more rational approach to art and design. Le Corbusier's career spanned five decades, with projects across Europe, Japan, India, and the Americas. A key figure in urban planning, he was a founding member of the Congres International d'Architecture Moderne (CIAM). In 2016, 17 of his projects were designated UNESCO World Heritage sites for their contribution to modern architecture.
