Corbusier has had a major influence on modern architecture as an advocate of modernist architecture that emphasized rationality, using reinforced concrete and simple, smooth wall treatments without flashy decorations. He is also an architect who has had a major influence on contemporary Japanese architects such as Tadao Ando and Kengo Kuma. He placed importance on rationality and functionality in his own lifestyle, and is said to have embodied this attitude in his fashion.
