JUNE 15th THROUGH SEPTEMBER 23rd
Museum of Modern Art (MoMA)
Le Corbusier (Charles-Edourad Jeannert) (1887-1965) was the world’s first global architect, traveling throughout Europe, Russia, India and South America and often finding inspiration by observing landscapes from the seat of an airplane. He designed and built on three continents before intercontinental jet service.
One of the fathers of modern architecture, he was among the first to anticipate how the automobile would impact where and how people lived as well as the ways new building technology would influence how homes and whole cities would be created.
The new show at MoMA “Le Corbusier: An Atlas of Modern Landscape” encompasses his work over six decades not only as an architect but also as an interior designer, artist, city planner, writer and photographer.
