Description

The Unite in Marseille (1945-1952) was a pioneering achievement at a time when social housing in the post WWII years posed an immense problem. Freed from restrictive regulations for the first time, Le Corbusier was able to put into practice his concept of modern social housing. A milestone of modern architecture and subject of controversial debate, the Unite in Marseille continues to attract numerous visitors and students of architecture.

Over the fifty years of its existence, the Marseilles Unite has continualy kindled interest and is now ranked among the world's great architectural works, perhaps proving Le Corbusier's belief that housing is an essential ingredient of architecture.
