Le Corbusier was one of the dominant architects of the modernism era who gained his fame through his innovative and original constructions and his valuable writings. He devoted himself to exploring the topic of modern building planning and design. Le Corbusier attempted to embody in his works his vision of architecture, as a means of establishing emotional relationships. Le Corbusier succeeded in developing his own vision of beauty in architecture, which at first was often questionable for spectators. However, living in the age of technology, he understood the need for comfort, convenience and logic in architecture, thus developing the principles of modern and practical constructions. Le Corbusier in his book Towards a New Architecture described his technical and aesthetic theories of architecture, explored the peculiarities of different styles and eras and formulated some innovative aspects of the improvement of modern architecture. For the architect, the notion of beauty was inseparable from functionality. According to Le Corbusier, beauty in architecture can be revealed when certain masses are highlighted, creating real tangible geometric shapes for our vision (17). All these cubes, cones, spheres, pyramids are essential to the human understanding of aesthetics because they are natural primary forms that are perceived without deviations. Furthermore, one of the most important goals of architecture is to “revitalize the surface,” adapting it to the demands of the inhabitants and allowing it to serve the masses (Le Corbusier, 34). The functional and then aesthetic use of surfaces became a distinctive feature of Le Corbusier's architecture. He suggested that in construction it is possible to separate load-bearing from non-load-bearing elements...... middle of paper ...... emotional architecture, fulfilling its utilitarian functions. Wittgenstein, in turn, as a philosopher, solved the problem of building buildings in his own way, demonstrating a special understanding of beauty and functionality. Thus, each of these great minds contributed to the development of architecture as a philosophical discipline.Works CitedVitruvius, Polio. The ten books of architecture.
