Architect - Le Corbusier

Born: Switzerland, 1887
Died: France, 1965

Le Corbusier related a lot of his work to nature. It wasn't until 1922 that his worked started to take physical form, sticking to the theme of "a machine for living in". He created buildings all over the world, and his later years worked in India.


Maisons Jaoul
Location: Neuilly-sur-Seine, Paris, France
Date: 1954 to 1956

Sections/Drawings:

Maisons Jaoul is a simple structure that follows by the 'urban' standards of a building. It simply made using geometry (squares and rectangles) and follows by a specific and recurring structure. The sections and plans of the building show its geometry and structure by the use of dark and light outlines throughout. On the other hand, the photographs and model of this building show otherwise. The building seems to have curved roofs in these representations which isn't represented in the buildings plans.

Notre Dame du Haut
Location: Ronchamp, France
Date: 1955

Sections/Drawings:

Notre Dame du haut is a beautiful piece of architecture that brings your eyes straight to it and its different shapes and forms. The structure is also made of geometric forms with quadrants and curves. In comparison to Corbusier's Maions Jaoul, the plans and sections for this building correspond to the model and photographs of it. They both show the contrast used against sharp lines and curves throughout the structure, and both show the detail in how these two aspects are put together.
