Industry Icon: Le Corbusier

As part of National Architecture Days, the Le Corbusier Foundation presents, at Maison La Roche, an exhibition of photographs from his archives.

It reveals the purist house in the late 1920s, as it was inhabited by its commissioner Raoul La Roche, a wealthy banker and art collector.

A diaporama also shows the interiors of the Maison Jeanneret, next door to the Maison La Roche, designed for Le Corbusier’s brother and his family.

The photographs on show are those commissioned by Le Corbusier from photographers Charles Gérard (1925) and Fred Boissonnas (1926).
