On the occasion of the celebration of the World Architecture Day, we present a great illustrated biography of Le Corbusier, who was born on a day like today 128 years ago.

Cartoonist and illustrator Vincent Mahé, who usually signs as Mr Bidon, has done this review of the life and work of the architect on the 50th anniversary his death in the French magazine Télérama. Since its beginnings in the architecture, through his participation in the Perret brothers' studio and with characters such as Josephine Baker or Lucio Costa, Mahé illustrates in a comncise way, almost as if it were a list of the great successes of the architect, but with a great graphic quality. As we have previously published in Metalocus, Vincent Mahé is a big fan of architecture, enjoys drawing in sketchbooks on his travels and had previously portrayed the Swiss and other architects like Oscar Niemeyer.
