Many of Le Corbusier's most famous buildings were designed for, and remain open to, the public in one respect or another. The Secretariat building of the United Nations (and the multi-building site of the UN headquarters in general), the various government buildings in India, the Swiss Pavilion in Paris, all can be enjoyed by the public. His seminal project, the Villa Savoye, suffered a roof collapse during World War II due to design flaws, but has since been renovated. To the modern student, some of his most interesting works are his buildings in Moscow -- where politics and finances forced partial implementations of his designs, and where his work fits into a considerably different urban landscape than his Parisian projects do.
