This architect used metal sheets to create a weathervane-like structure for his Open Hand Monument. He used the height of a man with his arm raised as the basis for a system of proportions called Modulor. This man invented a cube-shaped armchair called the "Grand Confort", developed a Y-shaped "hen's foot" floor plan for his proposed "Cartesian skyscraper", and used some of the principles of his (*) "Radiant City" in his design for Chandigarh. Horizontal windows, roof gardens, and the replacement of support walls with stilts called pilotis were among the "five points" described in a manifesto by this architect, who put them into practice with his Villa Savoye. For 10 points, name this Swiss-French architect who wrote Towards a New Architecture.
