Come and stroll around with our facilitators in the Unité d’Habitation of Firminy, latest of the 5 Le Corbusier’s Housing Units. The “Cité Radieuse” in Marseille was the first one to be built, and acted as a model for the four others: Rezé-les-Nantes, Briey-en-Forêt, Berlin and Firminy.
Discover the unmodified 60s show-appartement, and enjoy the amazing view from the nursery school and the roof-top.
Come and visit the Firminy project and see what makes it different.
