I was born into a family of highly skillful, tasteful people. My father fine-crafted wooden watch cases and my mother was an avid musician. In this environment in which I grew up, I naturally became interested in the arts, after an entire childhood immersed in the creative atmosphere. After graduating from the local art university, I planned to continue my living in Paris, but alas, before I had the chance to move, the Great War, World War I, started. After the war, I finally moved to Paris to continue my steady carrer, striving to indruoduce new ideas into the world of architecture. Alas, after several decades of revolutionary and slightly controversial work, I suffered from a heart attack while swimming in theMediterranean Sea. Nowdays, I am up here, helping to glorify the gates of Heaven.

Mon Influence sur la Culture Francaise
My influence on French culture, the same as in my impact worldwide, is the ideas I brought up on the topic of urban planning. These ideas have helped make French cities more efficient, able to handle more people who settled down after the war to lead their normal lives. Also, my spare-time paintings contributed to the mosernist art movement that was spreading in art centers like Paris.

Architecture really was a big impact on French culture, but like Brandon said, the influence section could have been bit more elaborate.
