One hundred and twenty years after his birth, Charles-Edouard Jeanneret, alias Le Corbusier is being celebrated at the Mori Art Museum in Tokyo.

The father of modernism and eclectic all-round artist (town planner, painter, theorist, sculptor and designer) is remembered until September 24 in a rich collection of works including coloured paintings and a reconstruction of the Cabanon at Cap San Martin, the minimalist refuge on the Côte d’Azur where Corbu often spent his holidays. In the Japanese capital the Swiss architect designed the National Museum of Western Art (with Kunio Maekawa, Junzo Sakakura and Takamasa Yoshizaka) and has had a great deal of influence on architects across the ocean (from Kenzo Tange to Tadao Ando).
