Bourgeois, Victor (1897–1962). Born in Charleroi, Belgium, he practised as an architect in Brussels from 1920. He became the leading Belgian disciple of Le
Corbusier. As Vice-President of
CIAM he was an important advocate of
International Modernism in Belgium. His most celebrated work was the municipal housing-scheme or
Cité Moderne at Sint-Agatha Berchem, near Brussels (1922–5), influenced by Tony
Garnier's
Cité Industrielle and by Frank Lloyd
Wright. Other works include a house at the
Weissenhofsiedlung in Stuttgart (1927). He was active as an architect and planner until his death, designing many building-types.
