Athen’s Charter
•1933 document about urban
planning.

• It was based upon Le

Corbusier’s Ville Radieuse
(Radiant City) 1935 urban
studies undertaken by the
Congrès International
d'Architecture Moderne (CIAM)
in the early 1930s.
 THE RADIANT CITY
(VILLE RADIEUSE)
Marsielle, France

“The city of today is a

dying thing because its
planning is not proportion
of geometrical one fourth.
The result of a true
geometrical lay-out is
repetition. The result of
repetition is a standard.
The perfect form".
- Le Corbusier
•Like a living organism, it consisted of organized parts
that would work together as a whole.
.
• It was designed to be a linear and ordered metropolis of
the future.
Plan Voisin, Paris, France,
1925
Ville contemporaine de trois millions d'habitants, 1922 Not located
•symmetrical and standardized.

• At the center, a business district would be connected to

separate residential and commercial zones via underground
transit.

• Prefabricated housing towers would serve as vertical

villages
• The buildings in the central area
were raised on still (pilotis) with 5
meter high.

• The scale of the apartment houses

was fifty meters high, which would
accommodate, according to
Corbusier, 2,700 inhabitants with
fourteen square meters of space per
person.

• Directly on top of the apartment

houses were the roof top gardens and
beaches, where residents sun
themselves in “A natural"
surroundings - fifty meters in the air.

• The skyscrapers were to provide

office space for 3,200 workers per
building.
• He also developed parallel
proposals for a Ferme Radieuse
(Radiant Farm) and Village Radieuse
(Radiant Village).
