Le Corbusier: Pioneer of Modern Architecture and His Impact on High-Performance Building

Le Corbusier’s work did some things that contradict high-performance building. For example, his use of pilotis (raised buildings on columns) can lead to increased energy consumption, as the columns need to be heated and cooled in the same way as the rest of the building. Additionally, his use of large windows can lead to heat loss in cold climates, and his use of concrete can lead to moisture problems.
