Le Le Corbusier, Unite d'habitation, Marseille by Alban Janson

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.
Alban Janson, until his retirement, was professor of the fundamentals of architecture at the Karlsruher Institut fur Technologie. Carsten Krohn lives and works as an author in Berlin Anja Grunwald is professor of architectural photography and typography at the Hochschule Karlsruhe Technik und Wirtschaft.
