A disciple of Le Corbusier in the 1930’s, Japanese architect Junzo Sakakura (1901-1969) was a leading light in the movement for modern architecture in Japan. In 2016, seventeen sites forming part Le Corbusier’s achievements were listed in UNESCO’s World Heritage, giving rise to a wave of interest in his work. Consisting of plans, photographs, videos, models, and pieces of furniture, this exhibition enables visitors to discover the masterpieces of this architect who succeeded very skilfully in combining Modernism with the Japanese way of life.
