Architect, Artist and Engineer

Le Corbusier Paintings

Le Corbusier is not only an architect, he is more than an architect. I’ve always thought that he is the person behind the infamous Grand Confort Sofa chairs, but never thought that he is also into paintings. Paintings that are par in term of artistic style with Pablo Picasso.
