3 Title Le Corbusier the Architect Who Will Live Forever

Zadatak br.4 Abstract Le Corbusier was one of the most famous modernism architects whose work, especially after World War II, had a lot of impact on todays architecture. Although, many books have been written about him, they usually never compare his architecture to any other. By analyzing some of his objects and the way he created architecture we come to a conclusion that his impact on other architects, some even from Serbia, was a lot bigger than we think. He developed a Modulor, a system of proportions based on a golden section and human proportions. Also, another important thing he did was that he established two new architectural styles: International style and Brutalism. The fact that his style is still seen among the newest building structures confirms that he will continue to live on, even if it is just through architecture.
