Unite D'Habitation: Le Corbusier (Architecture in Detail)

The Units d'Habitation at Marseilles is a key building of the twentiethentury, and a seminal work in Le Corbusier's portfolio. A precursor ofuildings in Nantes, Berlin, Breiy en Foret and Firminy, it established, inuilt form, Le Corbusier's ideas of public housing that had existed only onaper for more than twenty years. David Jenkins argues that the Marseillesnits stands out as a powerful and convincing testament of Le Corbusier'saith in the principles of the Ville Radieuse and the Brutalist medium ofough cast concrete which in other, less able hands, have since been callednto question.Jenkins, David is the author of 'Unite D'Habitation: Le Corbusier (Architecture in Detail)' with ISBN 9780714827704 and ISBN 0714827703.
