Synopsis by Sally Barber

The program Le Corbusier offers a revealing look at the life and work of architect and city planner Charles-Edouard Jenneret, also known as Le Corbusier. One of the most significant architects of the early 1900s, his own unique style combines functionalism with expressionism.

Other programs in this series include Giotto and the Pre-Renaissance, Goya, The Greek Temple, Germany -Dada, Picasso: War, Peace, Love, Crete and Mycenae, and The Cubist Epoch.
