His designs have no boundaries, no constraints. For him, an architect should "become the most outstanding spirit of the entire society" and "be open to everything." Architecture is a way of thinking, not just a craft. Corbusier taught us not only knowledge and methods but also profound ideas and principles. Corbusier's language is passionate, Corbusier's designs are full of energy, and Corbusier's theories are timeless.
