Renault Pays Homage To Architect Le Corbusier

By, 2015-10-25

Renault has just revealed a new model of cars which is inspired by the style and forms of the architect Le Corbusier.

Take for instance the “Art Deco” movement – it was an interwar style that represented glamour, luxury, exuberance and faith in technological progress, often characterized by rich colors, bold geometric shapes and rich ornamentation.

On the concept, Renault added: “The ideas of simplicity, a visually- and aesthetically-pleasing structure, geometric elegance and mastery of light guided the designers in the creation of the Coupé Corbusier concept car.
The concept is on display at Villa Savoye, a modernist villa on the outskirts of Paris. To commemorate 50 years since Le Corbusier’s death, France’s Centre des Monuments Nationaux, a government body that manages and maintains historic buildings and sites owned by the state, is putting on an exhibition at Villa Savoye called ‘Cars for living: the automobile and modernism in the 20th and 21st centuries’.
