Today, Le Corbusier would have been 139.

On his birthday, we look back at the life and work of a restless mind who taught architecture to speak in light, shadow, colour, and form. 🏛️☀️

We looked through our archive and chose a selection of photographs by Swiss photographer René Burri, who captured Le Corbusier not only as an architect, but as an artist, thinker, and man at work — in his studio, among his paintings and sculptures, and in the spaces he shaped.

Through Burri’s lens, we glimpse the person behind the legacy: a life of ideas, gestures, and endless making. ✨
