Nice piece Joe. Le Corbusier though worth a second look. Prolific painter. Many of his floor plans inspired by abstract painting compositions. See La Tourette and many residential projects

I didn’t dig deeply into Corbusier’s art, but saw a 2016 project by Belgium based artist Xavier Delory adding Corbusier’s art as graffiti on Ronchamp, the building’s character is harmed by the imagining, but it is a reminder of the rich abstract language of Corbusier’s art. Maybe living inside an abstraction has its drawbacks, as the letters of complaint to Corbusier from the Savoye family detailed about Villa Savoye.
