Le Corbusier
Charles-Edouard Jeanneret took a pseudonym
which made him famous in 1920, the year in
which together with the painter Amédé Ozefant
he founded the Revue de LEsprit Nouveau.
He had studied at the art school and then he
worked in the studio of Perret, the parisian architect.
When only eighteen years old he built
his first house. He was very sure of himself with
advanced ideas regarding architecture and city
planning. The central core of the idea which he
developed together with Ozefant was the concept
of a building which could be adapted for
multiple uses, built from superimposable units
which could be used for constructing series of
low cost housing complexes. He describes this
concept as a "frame which is completely independent
of the floor plan of the house". This frame,
built with standar-dized units which can be
assembled in various combinations support the
ceilings and stairs.
Characteristic of Le Corbusiers buildings are
the piles which covery a sense of lightness
while also functioning as a framework for structural
elements. The allow for an open floor plan,
ribbon windows for uniform illuminations, hanging
gardens and idented facades. Example of
this period are the Weissenhof neighbourhood
in Stuggart and the Ville Savoye in Poissy. Very
different from these structures are the buildings
of the "organic" period which began in the
40s, houses constructed with "catalan" vaults,
ondulatine roofs, terraces built of natural materials:
ceramic, stone, brick, sandstone. For these
houses he had devised the "Modulor" as a
dimensional unit, a system deducted from the
human body. Examples of this period are de
Jaoul house at Neully -sur-Seine and the Sarabhai
house in India. He died in 1965, drowned,
in the coast of the french Mediterranean. There
is no doubt that all of his furniture was a result
of the collaboration with Charlotte Perriand and
Pierre Jeanneret. The collaboration between
them was very close in reciprocally respecting
each others qualities.
