Why was Charles-Édouard Jeanneret called Le Corbusier?
1 Answer
Charles-Édouard Jeanneret was called Le Corbusier because that was the name the French-Swiss designer and architect chose for himself. His maternal grandfather's name was Lecorbésier, and Jeanneret altered the surname to create his adopted name. Le Corbusier was a pioneer of progress-minded modern architecture who sought to impose rational order on the chaos of the world through design.
