What is Le Corbusier's only building in the United States?

What is Le Corbusier’s only building in the United States? It is the Carpenter Center for the Visual Arts.

Located at Harvard University in Cambridge, Massachusetts, the Carpenter Center was completed in 1963. It was commissioned as a home for visual-arts teaching and studios, and its design brought Le Corbusier’s modernist principles into a traditionally historic American campus. The project was developed with Josep Lluís Sert, then dean of Harvard’s Graduate School of Design, and architect Guillermo Jullian de la Fuente.

The building is notable for its curving concrete ramp, which cuts through the structure and creates a public route between Quincy Street and the Harvard Yard side of campus. Le Corbusier also incorporated ideas associated with his “Five Points of a New Architecture,” including pilotis, a free plan, and roof-garden concepts.

The wording can cause confusion because Le Corbusier contributed to the United Nations Secretariat Building in New York, but that was a collaborative international project rather than his sole building in the United States. The Carpenter Center is therefore the standard quiz answer, and it is also commonly described as his only building in North America.
