In the history of technology, Pierre Jeanneret is one of the names that keeps returning.
The record lists Pierre Jeanneret as Swiss architect (1896-1967).
Pierre Jeanneret was born at Geneva in 1896. His recorded nationality is Switzerland.
Around the turn of the twentieth century, national institutions, mass media and mass politics changed both the scale of a career and its risks.
He worked as architect, designer and furniture designer.
Technology is judged by adoption: an invention nobody uses is a curiosity.
That the work was done from Switzerland matters. Opportunity has never been evenly distributed, and where a person is based shapes which doors open and whose work gets seen.
Pierre Jeanneret died in 1967, aged 71. What survives is the work, which is the only durable form of a reputation.
