Fondation Le Corbusier

Fondation Le Corbusier safeguards the entire written, drawn and artistic legacy of the Swiss architect Le Corbusier and is based in two of his earliest Paris masterworks. Villa La Roche and the adjoining Villa Jeanneret in the 16th arrondissement were built between 1923 and 1925 for the banker Raoul La Roche and Le Corbusier's brother Albert, and are part of the UNESCO World Heritage serial inscription of 2016. Here Le Corbusier formulated his Five Points of a new architecture, from pilotis and roof garden to ribbon window. Villa La Roche now houses a small museum with original furniture and works from his collection. Visitors can experience the famous promenade architecturale and consult the foundation's archive of more than 8,000 original drawings.
