Here's some background that I found interesting: Le Corbusier’s career in architecture truly took off in 1914 when he developed the scheme for the “Domino House,” a project that became a foundation for his future design work.
After moving to Paris in the late 1910s, Le Corbusier opened an office with his cousin Pierre Jeanneret. It was there that he began to truly explore the concept of a house as “a machine for living,” and began developing his five points of architecture (which he described in his seminal “Vers une architecture,” and most clearly put into practice in theVilla Savoye).
Although Le Corbusier did not build during World War Two, he continued to develop his theories on modular building, which were later realized in his massive dwelling blocks, Unite D’Habitation (1947).
Here is Notre Dame du Haut, commonly known as Ronchamp.
I think this has such a cool deign with the different points and slope of the roof. The colors are cool, but the bet is the different window shapes, sizes and locations.
