"This apartment building with which Auguste
Perret established his reputation is to be regarded
as one of the canonical works of 20th-century
architecture, not only for its explicit and brilliant
use of the reinforced concrete frame (the
Hennebique system) but also for the way in which its
internal organization was to anticipate Le
Corbusier's later development of the free
plan.”
Le Corbusier a conceput un nou instrument de
dimensionare şi proporţionare a tuturor elementelor
componente ale unui sistem - ,,Modulorul’’ –realizat în
relaţie cu dimensiunile omului, ,,o nouă estetică,
bazată pe expresivitatea volumelor simple şi a
materialelor, pe o subtilă geometrie din care desprinde
şi subliniază – poezia unghiului drept – a clarităţii şi a
echilibrului.
Berlin Modulor (Ausschnitt) am Corbusierhaus(1958)
Le Corbusier’s Modulor, a representative figure whose proportions drove the
dimensions of the spaces Corbusier designed. The Modulor itself was fashioned
after Leonardo da Vinci’s Vitruvian Man who symbolized the Renaissance’s
conception of the human being as subject, conceived as a universal ideal.

The layout of the plan is completely
independent from the structural system
providing endless variations in the
arrangement of the interiors. The
skeleton consists of free-standing
pillars and rigid floors. Maison Domino
was designed as a building prototype
for mass production. It can be seen as
the precursor to the clear separation of
support from infill in housing.

Le Corbusier – “Ozenfant
"The house and studio in Paris for
Le Corbusier's friend the painter
Ozenfant is an early example of
'minimal' architecture, a prototype
of the Dom-ino house and a
manifestation of some of the
principles which Le Corbusier was to
set out in his famous 'five points.'
It possessed a geometrical clarity

inside and out which has since been
lost with the elimination of the
north-light roof and its replacement
by a flat one."

le corbusier five points of architecture
First, Le Corbusier lifted the bulk of the structure off the ground, supporting it by
pilotis – reinforced concrete stilts. These pilotis, in providing the structural
support for the house, allowed him to elucidate his next two points: a free façade,
meaning non-supporting walls that could be designed as the architect wished,
and an open floor plan, meaning that the floor space was free to be configured
into rooms without concern for supporting walls. The second floor of the Villa
Savoye includes long strips of ribbon windows that allow unencumbered views
of the large surrounding yard, and which constitute the fourth point of his
system. The fifth point was the Roof garden to compensate for the green area
consumed by the building and replacing it on the roof. A ramp rising from ground
level to the third floor roof terrace allows for an architectural promenade through
the

…architecture, in the West or
East, is no stranger to copying,
a (professionalized) practice
that continues to this day in all
corners of the world. (For
sterling proof see these 10
copycat buildings.)

Le Corbusier – Unitatea de locuit ,
The Unité d'Habitation is the name of a
modernist residential housing design
principle developed by Le Corbusier, with
the collaboration of painter-architect Nadir
Afonso. The concept formed the basis of
several housing developments designed by
him throughout Europe with this name.
Cité Radieuse
The first and most famous of these
buildings, also known as Cité Radieuse
(radiant city) and, informally, as La Maison
du Fada (French - Provençal, "The House
of the Mad"), is located in Marseille,
France, built between 1947 and 1952. One
of Le Corbusiers's most famous works, it
proved enormously influential and is often
cited as the initial inspiration of the
Brutalist architectural style and
philosophy.
The Marseille building, developed with
Corbusier's designers Shadrach Woods and
George Candilis, comprises 337
apartments arranged over twelve stories,
all suspended on large pilotis. The building
also incorporates shops with architectural
bookshop, sporting, medical and
educational facilities, a hotel which is open
to the public, and a gastronomic restaurant.
The flat roof is designed as a communal

terrace with sculptural ventilation stacks, a
running track, and a shallow paddling pool
for children. The roof, where a number of
theatrical performances have taken place,
underwent renovation in 2010. It has
unobstructed views of the Mediterranean
and Marseille.
Cobusier at La Cite Radieuse with Pablo Picasso
Inside, corridors run through the
centre of the long axis of every
third floor of the building, with
each apartment lying on two levels,
and stretching from one side of the
building to the other, with a balcony.
Unlike many of the inferior system-

built blocks it inspired, which lack the
original's generous proportions,
communal facilities and parkland
setting, the Unité is popular with its
residents and is now mainly occupied
by upper middle-class professionals.
