Le Corbusier is recognized as one of the most influential architects of the 20th century. He drafted points of architecture which he defended incessantly: the open plan, the use of pilotis, roof gardens, the horizontal window and the free design of the facade. 

"The formative role of the voyage d'Orient  for Le Corbusier is evident in his theoretical work and practice thereafter. Reference to Islamic architecture and urban forms appear in his writings as early as 1915 and span his numerous publications [...] A number of his early villas [...] are inspired by the Ottoman houses in terms of their interior organization around a central hall, their simple spaces, massing, and blank street facades. The Mediterranean vernacular with an Islamic touch surfaces sporadically in his built work [...]—recording its most memorable moment with the Notre Dame de Ronchamp (1950–55), inspired by the sculptural mass of the Sidi Ibrahim Mosque near El Ateuf in the Algerian countryside."
