The aim of this investigation is to present an approach to the notion of a global architect, the universality of his theory and legacy. The investigation is composed in two main stages whose goals are the following: 1) to address the notion of global architect; 2) to demonstrate the role of Le Corbusier to perform the idea of global architect and his influence in others architects, such as Fernando Tavora (1923-2005), a portuguese architect recognized as the master of Alvaro Siza. The first stage, we seek to formulate a definition of global architect from the point of view of Le Corbusier's works. During the second stage we analyse and compare the positions of Le Corbusier and Tavora and their projects: Ronchamp, Chandigarh and Market at Vila da Feira and Ofir Summer House. Thus, we attempt to analyse the role of Le Corbusier as a global architect and his impact on others colleagues, such as Tavora who seeks to achieve the same ideal of global architect and perform a universal vision of architecture.
