Cite radieuse

Cite Radieuse, also called the “vertical concrete village”, is designed by Le Corbusier in Marseille, France. This structure is not only breathtaking but architecturally diverse and extremely intriguing at first sight. The mass amount of different colored windows in contrast with the unfinished concrete gives the structure a dominant presence with a playful edge. The roof, picture attached, has a somewhat minimal but aesthetically pleasing pool and lounging layout, as well as a raised extra room with floor to ceiling windows, covered in wooden beams for privacy. All these elements joined together to make an edgy space that has successfully drawn in many young residents, and I enjoy it a lot!
