Le Corbusier, Unit d'habitation, Marseille

If there is one building by Le Corbusier that represents a synthesis of his basic concepts it is certainly the Unite d'habitation built in Marseille in 1946-52. This building is now very popular with the people who live in it. Le Corbusier used his architectural resources atmospherically and scenically to give the Unite d'habitation a succinct coherence that also forms the basis for individual lives within its rooms and spaces. Precise observation and description reveal the mechanisms of these effects.Grunwald, Anja is the author of 'Le Corbusier, Unit d'habitation, Marseille', published 2008 under ISBN 9783932565656 and ISBN 3932565657.
