ARCHITECT
LE CORBUSIER + GUILLERMO JULLIAN DE LA FUENTE
The Carpenter Center for the Visual Arts at Harvard University, in Cambridge, Massachusetts is the not the only building actually designed by Le Corbusier in the United States, as he had been involved in the composition of the united Nations building in New York in 1947. Le Corbusier's ideas were taken over by Wallace K. Harrison. The Carpenter Centre of 1961 was one of only two building designed in its entirety by le Corbusier in the Americas (the other is the Curutchet House in La Plata, Argentina). Le Corbusier designed it with the collaboration of Chilean architect Guillermo Jullian de la Fuente at his 35 rue de Sèvres studio; the on-site preparation of the construction plans was handled by the office of Josep Lluís Sert, then dean of the Harvard Graduate School of Design. He had formerly worked in Le Corbusier's atelier and had been instrumental in winning him the commission. The building was completed in 1962.
