Le corbusier was born in Switzerland, settled in Paris on 19 17, and opened an architectural firm in Paris with his cousin on 1922. Corbusier is one of the most prolific modernist masters. His modernist thoughts and theories are mainly embodied in his important anthology "Towards New Architecture". Although this book was published by 1937, many articles were written or published by him long ago, which represented his overall design idea. The articles in this book span several decades, so it is inevitable that there are some inconsistencies and complicated contents. However, in denying the retro and eclecticism in design, his views are basically consistent with Gropes' emphasis on the supremacy of design function.

Corbusier emphasized the beauty of machinery and highly praised the crystallization of new technologies such as airplanes, automobiles and ships. He believes that the shape design of these products is not limited by any traditional style, but is designed according to new functional requirements. They are only limited by economic factors, so they are more reasonable. He pointed out: "... in the past 50 years, steel and concrete have occupied a dominant position, which shows that the structure itself has great capabilities. For architectural artists, the old classics in architectural design have been overthrown. If we want to challenge the past, we should realize that the past style in history no longer exists for us, and a new design style belonging to our own era has emerged, which is revolution. By emphasizing the importance of machinery, Corbusier became the founder of mechanical aesthetics theory. He thinks: "A house is a machine for people to live in, and books are a machine for people to read." In contemporary society, a newly designed product serving modern people is a machine in a sense. Their aesthetic principles are unique and do not follow the aesthetic principles of classical art. Only in the face of this new social situation can we grasp a new aesthetic standpoint and aesthetic principles, that is, mechanical aesthetics representing the new era of the twentieth century. In the specific design, Corbusier emphasized the starting point of mathematical calculation and geometric calculation, which not only made the building more scientific and reasonable, but also embodied the technical principles. He was the first person who advocated the introduction of cubism art form into design.

From 65438 to 0927, Corbusier initiated the "International Conference on Modern Architecture" in La Las, becoming the central organization of modern architecture with international style. Le corbusier's architectural thought can be divided into two stages: before 1950s, he was the main leader of rationalism, functionalism and national style, represented by Savoi Villa in 1929 and Marseille Apartment in 1945. The load-bearing walls of many buildings are replaced by reinforced concrete, and buildings are often suspended above the ground; After 1950s, le corbusier turned to expressionism and postmodernism. Langxiang Chapel shocked the architectural world with its expressive force and unique form of sculpture, which completely deviated from the early classical vocabulary. This is one of the most memorable buildings built by modern people. In terms of furniture design, le corbusier is famous for its luxurious and comfortable reclining chairs with steel tube frames, which almost became a symbol of elegant life in the 1920s.
