This week marks 50 years since the passing of Le Corbusier. To honour his 78-year career, we’ve curated a selection of videos and documentaries about the renowned architect. Spanning multiple languages, these films explore topics ranging from the historical context of his era to the preservation of the Villa Savoye and his work in Argentina.
Das Jahrhundert des Le Corbusier (The Century of Le Corbusier)
Some criticize his residential buildings, while others praise his purist clarity: Le Corbusier was a Master of concrete and one of the most important architects of the 20th century. Based on interviews and personal writings, this documentary gives an overview of life at the time: the century of world wars, ideologies and totalitarianism.
