The architect: Le Corbusier
Charles-Édouard Jeanneret-Gris, better known as Le Corbusier (October 6, 1887 – August 27, 1965), was an architect, designer, painter, urban planner, writer, and one of the pioneers of what is now called modern architecture.

Among the likes of Marcel Breuer and Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, Le Corbusier was one of the leading architects of the early 20th century Modernist movement. He thought of homes as machines for living.
