Description


Frames and texts with PhotoFiltre Thanks for your visits on my gallery. I appreciate very much your comments and rates. if you insert my work in your favorite images list, it is a real congratulation for my picture. Thanks. Have a nice week-end for you, your children and you friends with a bit of fun! Please, use zoom-in for a better view ! 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 Lunatic's House"), is located in Marseille, France, built 1947-1952. 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 piloti. The building also incorporates shops, sporting, medical and educational facilities, and a hotel. The flat roof is designed as a communal terrace with sculptural ventilation stacks, a running track, and a shallow paddling pool. 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 middle-class professionals. The building is constructed in béton brut (rough-cast concrete), as the hoped-for steel frame proved too expensive in light of post-War shortages. Le premier et le plus célèbre de ces bâtiments, aussi connus comme Cité Radieuse (la ville radieuse) et, officieusement, comme La Maison du Fada (le français - Provençal, "la Maison du Dément"), est localisé dans Marseille, la France, construite 1947-1952. Un des travaux les plus célèbres de Le Corbusiers, cela s'est avéré énormément influent et est souvent cité comme l'inspiration initiale du style architectural Brutalist et de la philosophie. Le bâtiment de Marseille, développé avec les Bois de créateurs Shadrach de Corbusier et George Candilis, comprend 337 appartements arrangés plus de douze histoires, tous suspendus sur grand piloti. Le bâtiment incorpore aussi des magasins, un équipement sportif, médical et éducatif et un hôtel. Le toit plat est conçu comme une terrasse communale avec les meules de ventilation sculpturales, une piste courante et une piscine pagayante peu profonde. À l'intérieur, les couloirs parcourent le centre du long axe de chaque troisième plancher(étage) du bâtiment, avec chaque appartement étant sur deux niveaux et s'étendant d'un côté du bâtiment à l'autre, avec un balcon. À la différence de beaucoup de blocs construits du système inférieurs il a inspiré, qui manquent des dimensions généreuses de l'original, l'équipement communal et le cadre de parkland, l'Unité est populaire parmi ses résidents et est maintenant principalement occupé par les professionnels de la classe moyenne. Le bâtiment est construit dans béton brut (le béton des acteurs rugueux), comme l'attendu le cadre d'acier s'est avéré trop cher dans la lumière de manques d'après-guerre.

Dear Steve, I made a dozen of photos chosen on surroundings of this batiment you will discover him in next days. The same is true for flowers, female cats, dolls or my cars of collections! I do not hang 3 plates at the same time, not to bore my friends artists, as you.

Commentaire fort interessant et instructif. J'ai appris quelque chose, malgré mes 40 ans d'activités professionelles dans le domaine de la construction.
