The Unité d'habitation ((:ynite dabitasjɔ̃), ''Housing Unit'') 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. The most famous of these developments is located in south Marseille. == Cité radieuse, Marseille == 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 Nutter's House"), is located in Marseille, France, and was 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 building is constructed in béton brut (rough-cast concrete), as the hoped-for steel frame proved too expensive in light of post-War shortages.〔 The Unité in Marseille is pending designation as a World Heritage site by UNESCO. It is designated a historic monument by the French Ministry of Culture. It was damaged by fire on February 9, 2012.〔http://www.lemonde.fr/societe/article/2012/02/09/france-grave-incendie-a-la-cite-radieuse-du-corbusier-a-marseille_1641498_3224.html〕〔http://www.libemarseille.fr/henry/2012/02/la-cit%C3%A9-de-radieuse-de-marseille-meurtrie-par-lincendie.html〕 The Marseille building, developed with Corbusier's designers Shadrach Woods, George Candilis, comprises 337 apartments arranged over twelve stories, all suspended on large ''piloti''. The building also incorporates shops with architectural bookshop,〔(Bookshop Imbernon )〕 sporting, medical and educational facilities, a hotel which is open to the public,〔(Marseille's Cité radieuse: photos and hotel review )〕 and a gastronomic restaurant, ''Le Ventre de l'architecte'' ("The Architect's Belly"). 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. The flat roof is designed as a communal terrace with sculptural ventilation stacks, a running track, and a shallow paddling pool for children. There is also a children's art school in the atelier. The roof, where a number of theatrical performances have taken place, underwent renovation in 2010 and since 2013 it hosts an exhibition center called the MaMo.〔http://www.laprovence.com/article/loisirs/2340144/marseille-le-mamo-un-centre-dart-entre-ciel-et-mer.html〕 The roof has unobstructed views of the Mediterranean and Marseille. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Unité d'habitation」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
