Charles
Edouard Jeanneret was born in Switzerland,
he was a highly skilled and won prices
as a watch engraver He then changed
his profession and name for 'Le Corbusier'
and became a reknown designer and architect..
In 1910 he became an apprentice at
the reknown studios of Peter Behrens
in Berlin (this is also where Mies van
der Rohe and Walter Gropius worked and
trained). After this period he came
back to Switzerland to focus on architecture,
which he both taught and practised.
Le Corbusier's first milestone of
innovative and inspirational creation
was the "Domino House". Le
Corbusier used reinforced concrete (supported
by steel pillars) which replaced the
usual confining supporting walls. He
was the innovator of 'the open plan'
interior.
