Le Corbusier
Le Corbusier, born Charles-Édouard Jeanneret in Switzerland, became one of the most influential pioneers of modernist architecture in the early-to-mid 20th century, developing his "Five Points of Architecture" principles that emphasized pilotis supports, open floor plans, and flat roof terraces. Le Corbusier's 1931 Villa Savoye outside Paris became one of the most studied and celebrated buildings in the history of modern architecture, widely cited as a definitive physical realization of his International Style design principles that rejected ornamental historical architectural styles. Le Corbusier's urban planning theories, proposing dense high-rise towers surrounded by open green space rather than traditional dense street-level city blocks, proved enormously influential on 20th-century public housing and urban development worldwide, though his ideas also drew significant later criticism for contributing to isolating, poorly integrated housing projects. Le Corbusier's combination of his foundational Five Points of Architecture and his globally influential, if later contested, urban planning theories has made him one of the most consequential architects in the history of modernism.
VS
Frank Gehry
Frank Gehry became known for developing a distinctive deconstructivist architectural style, characterized by dramatically unconventional, sculptural, often metal-clad building forms that broke sharply from traditional rectilinear architectural design. Gehry's design for the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao in Spain, completed in 1997, became a global architectural sensation, and the building's transformative effect on tourism and civic identity in the previously industrial city of Bilbao gave rise to the widely used term "the Bilbao effect." Gehry received the prestigious Pritzker Architecture Prize in 1989, and his portfolio of dramatically sculptural buildings, including the Walt Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles, has made his distinctive style among the most recognizable in contemporary architecture worldwide. Frank Gehry's combination of his pioneering deconstructivist architectural style and the transformative "Bilbao effect" of his Guggenheim Museum Bilbao has made him one of the most influential architects of the modern era.
