OBS

Selon M. Paré de l'Ordre des architectes du Québec, le style machiniste, en architecture, fut introduit par Le Corbusier vers 1925. Il désigne, de fait, une architecture fonctionnelle et simplifiée. Le Corbusier avait notamment qualifié de machiniste la structure architecturale des silos du pont de Montréal.
