Meanwhile, in the life of Le Corbusier
The whole life1905
Builds his first house, the Villa Fallet
With two other students, under the supervision of the architect René Chapallaz, Jeanneret designed and built a chalet for the engraver Louis Fallet, a friend of L'Eplattenier. Its success brought commissions for two similar houses, the Villas Jacquemet and Stotzer.
September 1907 – 1908
First journey abroad: Italy and a winter in Vienna
Leaving Switzerland for the first time, Jeanneret went to Italy; the Charterhouse at Galluzzo near Florence made a lifelong impression on him: “I would have liked to live in one of their cells.” He spent the winter travelling via Budapest to Vienna, where he stayed four months and met Gustav Klimt.
1908–1910
Draftsman for Auguste Perret in Paris
For fourteen months Jeanneret worked as a draftsman in the office of Auguste Perret, the pioneer of reinforced concrete in housing and designer of the Théâtre des Champs-Élysées. It was here that he first discovered concrete.
