Biography
Pierre Jeanneret was born in Geneva in 1896. He studied at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Geneva. He later moved to Paris and worked with Gustave and Auguste Perret for a year (1921-1922). He soon began collaborating with his cousin Le Corbusier. In 1926, they published "Cinq Points vers une Nouvelle Architecture", a manifesto that was to play a major role in their architectural work, as evidenced by their construction of the Villa Savoye (1928-1931). In 1929, Jeanneret, Le Corbusier and Perriand presented a whole range of modern furniture at the Salon d'Automne in Paris. Jeanneret's role in Le Corbusier's construction projects is sometimes downplayed, but his work was a decisive factor in the work of his famous cousin.
