Summary

Le Corbusier's architectural legacy, recognized as an Outstanding Contribution to the Modern Movement by UNESCO, is safeguarded through the Fondation Le Corbusier. This foundation, established by Le Corbusier himself during his final years, ensures the preservation and dissemination of his work, holding moral rights over all buildings and collections. Each structure is treated as a unique piece of art, guiding restoration efforts with meticulous attention to detail. The foundation's dual mission—circulating Le Corbusier’s ideas and preserving his legacy—ensures that his architectural contributions remain intact for future generations.
