Cité Radieuse






Le Corbusier’s Unité d’Habitation or Cité Radieuse (The Radiant City) in Marseille. This was his attempt to “show the way ahead” and display his utopian vision for communal living in post-war France. Comprising 337 apartments, the ‘vertical village’ boasts communal areas, shops, the “Le Corbusier” hotel, a children’s nursery, a theater, a swimming pool, medical facilities and more.
