Summary

When you look around your city today, you might notice that a lot of buildings look the same. Fast food restaurants, apartments, and office parks often blend together. One man played a significant role in initiating this trend. His name was Le Corbusier. He was an architect with grand ideas about how cities should be designed. Some people love what he did. Others think he made the world a little less beautiful.
