Chapelle Notre Dame du Haut, Ronchamp, France (1950–1954) Notre Dame du Haut is commonly thought of as a more extreme design of Le Corbusier’s late style. Commissioned
by
the Association de l'Oeuvre
Notre
Dame du Haut, the chapel is a simple design with two entrances, a main altar, and three chapels beneath towers.

L'Esprit Nouveau Pavilion
The L'Esprit Nouveau Pavilion was a temporary building constructed in 1925 within the framework of the International Exhibition of Decorative Arts in Paris. For Le Corbusier was the occasion to show provocative way, his ideas on the architecture and urbanism that had begun to develop with Pierre Jeanneret from 1922.
Villa la Roche/ Villa Jeanneret Paris
Curutchet House, La Plata, Argentina (1948) This house is a masterpiece of Corbusian architecture, a superb example of the so-called“machine

headquarters of the United Nations since its completion in 1952. It is located in the Turtle Bay neighborhood of the borough of Manhattan, on spacious grounds overlooking the East River. Its borders are First Avenue on the west, East 42nd Street to the south, East 48th Street on the north and the East River to the east. 'Turtle Bay' is occasionally used as a metonym for the U.N. headquarters or for the U.N. as a whole.

the
utopian city that later work on different projects. One of the main ideas that started this project was that of a house of " low - cost" . This would be the beginning of a redefinition of man , society and art.
House of Man, Zurich, Switzerland (1963) This building on the shores of Lake Zurich marks the culmination of a reflection the architect began in the 1930s, on the architecture of modular, movable exhibition pavilions. Its shape is the direct descendent of a prototype Le Corbusier proposed for Paris in 1950 by way of promoting “the synthesis of the major arts.� Before finally being built in 1964-65, variants of this pavilion type, intended for temporary exhibitions, appeared in several of his projects.
Museum at Ahmedabad, Ahmedabad, India (1956) The museum was designed in the Modernist style by the renowned French architect Le Corbusier. It was named Museum of Knowledge during designing. It was originally a part of a large complex of Cultural Centre of Ahmedabad which had separate pavilions and areas for different subjects like anthropology, natural history, archaeology, monumental sculptures, workshops and depots, folklores in open air. It also included a pavilion for theatre called miracle box. But out of whole planned cultural center, only museum was built. L E C O R B U S I E R | 11
