Places to see in ( Marseille - France ) Cite Radieuse Le Corbusier
The Unité d'habitation , Cite Radieuse Le Corbusier is 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.
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. In July 2016, the Unité in Marseille and several other works by Le Corbusier were inscribed as UNESCO World Heritage Sites. It is also designated a historic monument by the French Ministry of Culture. It was damaged by fire on February 9, 2012.
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 with an architectural bookshop, a rooftop gallery, educational facilities, a hotel which is open to the public, and a gastronomic restaurant, Le Ventre de l'architecte (The Belly of an Architect).
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. Corbusier's design was criticised by US architect Peter Blake for having small children's rooms and some of those rooms lacked windows. 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.

Who'd a thunk that a foodie crawl in uptown New Orleans would be so popular. I mean most people think that you gotta stay in da Quartah to have any fun. Just what the heck does Oak Street got anyway? Well, for starters it's got Jaques-Imo's right next to the world famous Maple Leaf Bar. But then it's got all these other places too, some old, some new.
You'll learn about a new place in this video that just opened a few months ago. If you do this tour you'll learn about some other ones too that have fabulous drinks and fantastic food. And although this video is talking about a foodie crawl on July 18 these tours that Destination Kitchen puts one are regular ones not only here but along St. Charles Avenue and in the French Quarter as well.
So if you are looking for something different and unique and a great way to meet great people you can't do much better than one of these food tours Julie Barreda of Destination Kitchen puts together. I know whereof I speak. I done a couple of her tours and loved them. So much so I thought I'd give her a plug here on my blog.
