In 1923, in his book Vers une architecture (Towards a New Architecture), architect and designer Le Corbusier declared houses to be “machines for living in.” While this phrase speaks to his belief that good design should be functional, Le Corbusier was equally invested in marrying utilitarianism with “poetry, beauty, and harmony.” Rejecting earlier movements like Art Nouveau for their celebration of ornament, historical nostalgia, and lack of functionality, he embraced the work of American engineers—in the form of machines, factory complexes, and grain silos—as a foundation for a new, modern architectural language. Charles-Edouard Jeanneret adopted the name “Le Corbusier” (derived from a family surname, Lecorbésier) for his architectural persona in 1920. A prolific writer and lecturer, he founded the influential magazine L’Esprit nouveau with French painter Amédée Ozenfant and Belgian writer Paul Dermée in 1919. In the journal’s first several issues, Le Corbusier articulated his thoughts about “volume,” “surface,” and “plan,” which he considered the central components of modern architecture and urban planning. He republished these essays in Vers une architecture, in which he also famously described the "five points of architecture”: pilotis (reinforced-concrete columns), the free plan, the free facade, horizontal bands of windows, and the roof garden.

Realizzati in otto tipologie e 23 differenti varianti, i 337 appartamenti dell'Unità di Abitazione di Marsiglia possono ospitare oltre 1500 residenti. In un piano intermedio dei 17 di cui è composta erano previsti i negozi e in copertura la palestra, la piscina e spazi dedicati per la ginnastica e la corsa.

Nota anche come Cité Radieuse per via del suo orientamento che consente un'ottima esposizione al sole, l'Unité d'Habitation di Marsiglia progettata da Le Corbusier ha quattro costruzioni gemelle in Europa, costruite a Nantes, Briey, Firminy e Berlino.

L'Unité d'Habitation è lunga 140 metri e larga 24; con i suoi 17 piani di altezza, raggiunge i 56 metri. Ogni piano ospita 58 appartamenti duplex, accessibili da un ampio corridoio interno ogni tre piani, vere e proprie “strade in aria”. Dettaglio dei pannelli decorativi posti nei pressi dell'ingresso.

Progetto per eccellenza dell’architettura brutalista, l’Unité d’Habitation di #Marsiglia è il primo edificio in cui #LeCorbusier usa il cemento grezzo a vista. Realizzata tra il 1947 e il 1952 è pensata come una “città verticale”, con appartamenti, negozi e spazi comuni.Dal 2016 è patrimonio #Unesco

Color photograph taken in Le Corbusier's Cité Radieuse in Marseille. In the foreground, a close-up of a curved metal bracket mounted on the wall is clearly visible. Behind it, a long interior corridor stretches into the distance, slightly out of focus. The corridor has large windows on the right side through which warm light enters, a tiled floor with small colored dots, and a row of white chairs along the wall. Further back in the hallway stands a person who is partially out of focus. The overall color tone is warm, with brown and orange tones and soft shadows. Translated with DeepL.com (free version)

Starting in the late 1920s, Stuttgart already had a modern 61-meter-high tower as a landmark. At that time, people were still genuinely enthusiastic about technology. The newspaper Stuttgarter Tagblatt ran a headline for its opening that read “Stuttgart empor!” (i.e. “Stuttgart Rises!”) And contemporary artists did not march against this modern building; instead, they made it the subject of their work—as did Max Ackermann, for example, in 1928 who created a drypoint etching. So which tower am I talking about? And which construction method, one that shaped both the aesthetics and the engineering of the structure, was used here for the first time anywhere in the world? Here’s a little hint: ChatGPT knows the answer.

From Le Corbusier’s Ronchamp chapel to Stuttgart’s pioneering TV tower and an earlier 1920s landmark: can you guess which structure changed tower design worldwide?

Color photograph of yellow mailboxes in the hallway of the Cité Radieuse, the apartment building designed by Le Corbusier in Marseille. The mailboxes appear to float and are illuminated from above by a beautiful light. Above the mailboxes, there is also a sign for the emergency exit (Sortie de secours), illuminated in green.
