Designed by Swiss modernist architect Le Corbusier in 1928, Villa Baizeau stands in Carthage, Tunisia, as the architect's sole work in the country. Remarkably, Le Corbusier conceived the entire project remotely without visiting the site himself or sending any staff member to oversee construction, making it a unique instance of his practice working entirely from distance. Now a listed monument of Tunisia, the villa represents an intriguing intersection of modernist principles applied to North African geography and climate without direct on-site engagement.
