The human body is often described as a marvel of “perfect design”: elegant, efficient and finely tuned for its purpose. Yet, when we look closer, a rather different picture emerges. Far from being a flawless machine, the body reads more like a patchwork of compromises shaped by millions of years of evolutionary tinkering. Evolution does not design structures from scratch. Rather, it modifies what already exists. As a result, many aspects of human anatomy are just “good enough” solutions – functional, but far from perfect. Some of the most familiar medical problems and ailments arise directly from these inherited constraints.

La Maison La Roche-Jeanneret was designed in 1923-1925 as a residence and gallery for his friend Raoul La Roche, a Swiss banker and collector of cubist art and as a home for Le Corbusier's brother Albert Jeanneret and his fiancée Lotti Taaf.
