He is an architect who has used a lot selected architectural ideas from masters of the early and mid part of the 20th century. The most notable architect his work channels is Le Corbusier, particularly Corbusier's early phase. He, in fact, is the one architect who has probably built more using his ideas than anyone including Le Corbusier himself. On the other hand, his work also reflects the influences of other master designers such as Mies Van der Rohe, and in some instances Frank Lloyd Wright, and Luis Barrangan(without the color).

Meier has done it with influential works such as the Villa Savoy, and the Swiss Pavillion.
