Unité d'habitation / die Wohnmaschine


Mit der Unité d’habitation entwickelte Le Corbusier die Idee einer „vertikalen Stadt“, die Wohnen und gemeinschaftliches Leben in einem Gebäude vereint. Der erste Bau entstand von 1947 bis 1952 in Marseille und wurde wegweisend für den Brutalismus. Roher Sichtbeton, rhythmisch gegliederte Fassaden und skulpturale Formen prägen die Architektur.
