Abstract

Charles Edouard Jeanneret, commonly known as Le Corbusier, was one of the most outstanding architects of this century and possibly its most seminal urban designer. Born in 1887 in La-Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland, Le Corbusier moved to Paris in 1916 and later became a French citizen. He died in 1965 while swimming off the coast of Cote d'Azur.
