Le Corbusier or Charles-Édouard Jeanneret has been universally recognized as one of pioneers of modern architecture, yet every genius has been undeified as demonstrated by the transformation of the Villa Besnus or "Ker-Ka-Ré" in Vaucresson, France. The villa was built in 1922 in a Paris suburb and le Corbusier incorporated many of his Purist ideals into the design, however the owner was unhappy with the quality of construction; cracks in the wall, leaks, and dampness. After repeated unanswered requests to rectify these problems, Mssr. Besnus modified the villa into his bourgeoise dream house with commercial space on the ground floor.
Nothing is sacred now, then, or in the future.
