The Architectural Work of Le Corbusier is a World Heritage Site comprising 17 building projects by Franco-Swiss architect Le Corbusier across seven countries, including India. Inscribed in 2016, the collection demonstrates how modernist principles—emphasizing functionalism, minimal ornament, and innovative use of glass, steel, and concrete—were applied globally to address contemporary social needs. Charles-Édouard Jeanneret (1887–1965), who adopted the name Le Corbusier, was a pioneering figure in 20th-century modernism, an urban planner, and a founding member of the Congrès International d'Architecture Moderne. The designated sites encompass diverse building types: individual houses, apartment blocks, a factory, chapel, monastery, legislative assembly, museum, and cultural centre, collectively illustrating the far-reaching influence of an architectural visionary who revolutionized both design practice and urban planning.
