In addition to the two-dimensional works, Le Corbusier also worked on volumetric and semi-volumetric works such as sculptures and carvings on walls.

He was acquainted with a furniture maker from Normandy, Joseph Savina, who experimentally erected Le Corbusier's painting in a three-dimensional form. The end result was well received by the architect, the partnership of the two commenced.

Savina carved and composed from Le Corbusier's sketches, while the architect applied the finishing touches with the final colors to their sculptural collaborations. A team-work almost like architectural projects. For works like this, Le Corbusier in his rare form, signed “JS & LC”, showing how much he praised the Savina's contribution to the projects.

Sculptors often carve as the way to achieve the desired volumetric shapes, but Le Corbusier frequently used molds to achieve his shapes. This method became the signature of the architect's works. Unite d'Habitation, designed using the Modulor, was crested with symbolic forms using this technique, while his Indian projects display motifs of local wildlife and cultural markings. His works emphasizing the seasonal correspondence are marked with signs of solar positions and movements.
