It looks to me as if Aalto's buildings are more human than Le Corbusier's -- even those later ones I saw that had that white, stark, modern sensibility looked like places human beings could actually move around in without feeling lost or depressed. Le Corbusier's stuff always seems to me, what I have seen of it, to be designed for a cold, lofty, untouchable species: the kind of entities that use white flooring and upholstery, and eat tiny, choreographed meals, and if they have a pet, it's a pedigreed thing with twenty genetic disabilties and thousands of dollars worth of grooming.
It's funny, though -- you go around the Sims fansites and it's mostly the modernists' furniture that the fans are making. If I were cycnical, I would say it's because the shapes are simple to reproduce in a 3d program when you don't really know what you're doing.
