My Four favorite Architects 3.1 of 4

Le Corbusier as An Architect

Le Corbusier created the concrete structure called the domino effect, this movement is being used more today than ever before, as it can be seen in almost all skyscrapers and other modern buildings being built. Le Corbusier has set a trend that will be implemented for many many more years still to come...See below a few examples of his work.


Cuboid High Court Building
Le Corbusiers Indian Masterpiece-Chandigarh is stripped for parts 
Tadao Ando-"Entering a building requires an act of will and an awareness for the architecture". 
The light penetrating through the church.

If you have a closer look you can see how Tadao has designed this circle so that when light penetrates through you can see the ripples of texture on the surface.
Le Corbusier-Domino Effect Structure


" Le Corbusier was one of Tadao's greatest influences growing up. Le Corbusier used concrete wall and believed in illumination"

"Walls are the most basic elements of Architecture, and in all my work, light is an important factor."
