Le Corbusier: LC150+
April 3, 2025
Location
Charlotte and Richard McNeel Architecture Gallery, Giles Hall
This exhibit features a large collection of models based on the architectural work of Swiss/French Architect, Charles-Édouard Jeanneret (October 6, 1887 – August 27, 1965) – more recognizably known as Le Corbusier. His work spanned five decades and included work in Europe, Japan, India as well as North and South America. In 2016, seventeen projects designed by Le Corbusier were designated as UNESCO World Heritage Sites. Corbusier’s work and legacy fundamentally repositioned architecture for a Modern world – including his ideas on the Five Points, Modulor, Architectural Promenade and Ville Radieuse. Today, his work continues to inspire a new generation of architects while posing critical questions regarding architecture as a discipline, creative practice and social endeavor.
A public reception will be held on
Friday, April 11 at noon. Dr. Aaron White, co-editor of the recently published book, Early Modern Architecture and Whiteness, will give a gallery talk on Le Corbusier’s life and work. Light refreshments will be served.
Special thanks to Tau Sigma Delta (TSD) for setting up the exhibit!
