He had originally studied fine arts, and was even "afraid" of architects, but moved into the field by the direction of his teachers. He was inspired by cubism and nature equally and created buildings that were both modern and natural, livable yet expressionist. He was a supporter of using concrete as a cheap yet reliable material, and had many theories about urbanism, dreaming to build the perfect city with perfect architecture. He worked internationally, creating churches, apartments, government buildings and more. ]]> 2022-11-16 16:09:03 UTC https://padlet.com/david_pietras2/ohr019autf8ul9jb/wish/2386869307 Post 3 david_pietras2 https://padlet.com/david_pietras2/ohr019autf8ul9jb/wish/2386884662 2022-11-16 16:17:24 UTC https://padlet.com/david_pietras2/ohr019autf8ul9jb/wish/2386884662 Post 4 david_pietras2 https://padlet.com/david_pietras2/ohr019autf8ul9jb/wish/2386885138 2022-11-16 16:17:41 UTC https://padlet.com/david_pietras2/ohr019autf8ul9jb/wish/2386885138 Post 5 david_pietras2 https://padlet.com/david_pietras2/ohr019autf8ul9jb/wish/2386887083 2022-11-16 16:18:48 UTC https://padlet.com/david_pietras2/ohr019autf8ul9jb/wish/2386887083 Post 6 david_pietras2 https://padlet.com/david_pietras2/ohr019autf8ul9jb/wish/2386888061 2022-11-16 16:19:25 UTC https://padlet.com/david_pietras2/ohr019autf8ul9jb/wish/2386888061 Post 7 david_pietras2 https://padlet.com/david_pietras2/ohr019autf8ul9jb/wish/2386888927 2022-11-16 16:19:58 UTC https://padlet.com/david_pietras2/ohr019autf8ul9jb/wish/2386888927 Post 8 david_pietras2 https://padlet.com/david_pietras2/ohr019autf8ul9jb/wish/2386923316 https://youtu.be/-sT1f1Se_9g]]> 2022-11-16 16:38:57 UTC https://padlet.com/david_pietras2/ohr019autf8ul9jb/wish/2386923316 Post 9 david_pietras2 https://padlet.com/david_pietras2/ohr019autf8ul9jb/wish/2386924356 Contributions Le Corbusier

  1. He developed a groundbreaking theory of color called Architectural Polychromy as well as facilitating more than 60 color keyboards/harmonies that could be used by designers in endless ways. 
  2. He created The Modulor in 1949 as measurement or proportioning system that focused on mankind back into the center of architecture and design, based in the Golden Ratio and renaissance human proportions 
  3. His design principles: Pilotis (pillars), roof garden, open floor plan, long windows and open facades, were fundamental for his work as an architect and urban planner in cities from Europe to South America.

He took the disruptive advancements created by Picasso and transformed them in a modernist way, with the ideology that simplifying objects to their most basic forms with minimal detail was an embrace of technology and the machine.]]> 2022-11-16 16:49:24 UTC https://padlet.com/david_pietras2/ohr019autf8ul9jb/wish/2386941991 Fun fact david_pietras2 https://padlet.com/david_pietras2/ohr019autf8ul9jb/wish/2386952590 He almost designed Annette's home city, Bogotá, Colombia, but he didn't take the environment into consideration so his designs weren't used but the influence is visible in the buildings]]> 2022-11-16 16:55:47 UTC https://padlet.com/david_pietras2/ohr019autf8ul9jb/wish/2386952590 Post 10 david_pietras2 https://padlet.com/david_pietras2/ohr019autf8ul9jb/wish/2386953174 Point 10. 

His keyboards of color attended a modern, efficient and human-focused longing of the time (after World War II) that inspired a subtle elegant playfulness. 

His principles of design that mostly contained large spaces, were product of the rapid technology advancements of the 19th and 20th century, which tended to standardize architectural decisions that nourished that "Esprit Nouveau" of Modernity. 

Dom-Ino, was the residential architectural style that Le Corbusier that pushed the idea of constructing things without the materials being extremely expensive or needing over-elaborated labor skill. This can also be seen in his furniture designs that can be considered classic and elegant for today’s standards.
