One of the famous architects that I have always admired is Le Corbusier. 

Charles-Edouard Jeanneret-Gris (birth name), (6 October 1887 – 27 August 1965), known by the popular name of Le Corbusier, was anachitec and writer born in Switzerland. In the 1930s, he became a French citizen. He is famous for his theories about modernism in architecture. His plans included the improvement of housing for people in large cities. This was because many people lived in poverty at that time. Many of his designs have been built across the world. He also liked to paint and was skilled at designing furniture.
Le Corbusier grew up in La Chaux-de-Fonds, a small town in the north of Switzerland. In 1907, aged 19, he moved to the French city of Paris. He travelled across Europe, and learned a lot of new ideas. He learned to speak German and worked with famous architects, such as Peter Behrens.
When one looks at his life work one can only be astonished at its abundance. Le Corbusier built many groundbreaking buildings around the world and drew up numerous important urban development plans. He created impressive works of art – with paintings, sculptures, drawings and collages, enamels, tapestries as well as engravings. And he developed timeless furniture icons; incredibly ahead his of time. Based on his incomparable experiences, Le Corbusier developed – as a masterpiece – an eternally valid theory of color: the Architectural Polychromy. Nowadays the Foundation Le Corbusier in Paris manages the life's work of Le Corbusier.
