UNITÉ D´HABITATION I LE CORBUSIER I A WALK THROUGH IN 4K

This episode is about the UnitéS D'HAbitation by Le Corbusier, and more specifically about the one in Berlin.
I find the neighbourhood concept very interesting, and how his formulations changed architecture forever, in a very revolutionary way.

[@ebirk7664]

Now we can see how avantgarde Le Corbusier really was, nowadays residential condos usually have a lot of shared spaces, communal areas and service facilities. Unfortunately most of architects seem to have forgot that this concept is almost one century old, because they usually sell it off as 'innovative'.

The concept is very interesting and descriptive of Le Corbusier's concept of Unité d'Habitation. This concept has been used by many housing developments with his name. Great video. I liked it and subscribed to the Channel.

A small note, there where no apartments for singles. The smallest one room apartments could only be acquired by married couples, who often would get children quickly resulting into three or more people living in one room. The fact that the ceiling hight was adapted led to better living conditions. I read a few very negative comments on Le Corbusier here down below, but I would like to ad that, I had the pleasure to get to know a 92 old man who is very pleased with his apartment in the Berlin Unite. He has been living there from the beginning. The one room apartment is easy for him to maintain and he feels completely at home, because of the social conditions. It's a close-knit community because of the single entrance.

[@FourthWallArchitecture]

Wow, great additional information and thank you for the correction Christina! 🙂

Hi, First of all, my English may not be enough, I will write with the help of google translate :) I'm doing research on an assignment on the same topic. Where did you get help from your research? The subject is very good, but it is very difficult to find enough photos and videos. I would be very happy if you help thank you so much in advance and I hope your project has received very positive responses. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

The only way to go faster would be to change the format...I wish I could produce faster at this point. But every video takes a lot of effort :) Anyway....I'm aiming at uploading 4 videos more before the end of the year ;).

[@daankw]

Great video. But these buildings should have only existed on paper. Living in these would nowadays would be an urban hell.

[@noddyholder79]

and they were. See Glasgow, Liverpool, London and a multitude of other working class habitations. Architects seldom think about how everyday people might respond to living in a dystopian wasteland. A pox on all of em

[@leoschannel5938]

Why is gray concrete with severely miscalculated indentation and no windows on 2 of the 4 sides considered architecture!

[@quinosonic82]

Pyramids: 0 windows Parthenon: 0 windows Ok, nobody was meant to live in those, but still... btw, passive architecture has less open surface than U.d'H. also some buildings rely on single side windows (earthships), there are lots of different reasons for not opening windows everywhere.

[@pastorgoof]

You probably don't know but after a structure have been built correction can be made, for example walls can be knocked down and replace with glass or windows can be added to any wall. Trust me I see old building get renovated to bring new with a lot of nature light

[@danopticon]

@Leo’s Channel - We have architecture like this all over Latin America that’s quite beloved: in the mid-twentieth century cities exploded in size, and to house many people quickly and cheaply concrete proved close to a miracle. The video literally explains this at its beginning! Concrete also allows for variety in form, because it can carry heavier structural loads without support beams. And concrete resists temperature change. So some of the interesting shapes which seem like arbitrary concrete forms to you actually allows for better climate control! Residential air conditioning was really quite rare before the mid-‘80s, so … concrete overhangs provide shade, breezeways enclosed in concrete latticework allow for ventilation, a windowless wall keeps out the sun, and so on. And interiors could be spacious and light, but without getting blasted by the sun. I grew up in a building not entirely unlike this - albeit only six-ish stories tall, and actually a network of five interconnected buildings, broken up by green spaces - and it was really quite splendid. I miss our old apartment to this day.

I think it is good idea to be successful to find someone else with nice English mother tongue to read the text on your videos, simply because your accent is huge heavy on our ears . Nice video but this building needs more time and more details than that

[@philshifley4731]

Le Corbusier had no clue what humans need to be happy in a high density environment. His anti-human scale approach made him the least qualified person to be involved in urban housing. Clearing historic neighborhoods only to build these ugly monstrosities for the warehouse of the indigenous population should be a crime against humanity. Keep the modernist architect's nightmarish visions from migrating into your community if you value your country's history and culture.

[@edgararrhenius8562]

If i had the choice of living in a historical slum or in a high quality apartment there would'nt be a discussion. Modernist helped also save the economy. Sooo yeah go live in a indian slum but i rather like to have a working shower.

[@georgeredden6196]

​@@edgararrhenius8562 yeah, all you have is a straw man argument. I'd much rather live in a historical "slum" as you call it than a modernist slum. At least the historical slum would offer the possibility of renovation and improvement, which is exactly what happened in places like Brookyln or many towns in the Pyrenees. Try making any changes to any of these monstrosities. You'd have to bulldoze scores of 20 plus storey flats and rebuild everything anew. While Corbusier's style of architecture might have made sense in the past, it proved to be an unsustainable model. Curiously, in the beginning, these housing developments were designed not for the working class, but rather middle/upper middle class residents. With the passing of time, many of these projects have become breeding grounds for crime, drug addiction and illegal ocupation. Heck, any banlieu in France or pretty much in the rest of Europe has Modernist urban sprawl written all over it. Furthermore, by not taking into consideration the intrinsic value of traditional art, heritage, culture, harmony and beauty, modernist architecture has not only destroyed a wide variety of trades, but also squandered the invaluable wealth that most European cities offered. Hardly anyone is going to visit la tourette.

[@anonymousjustice4357]

@@georgeredden6196unfortunately these types of unitary constructions were adopted in South America, and as you mention created cesspools of crime, and nowadays are super dangerous to live and maintain. I think his furniture is beautiful. But You can see even his furniture, which I am lucky and fortunately to own, there’s a certain level of uncomfortable nature, I think LC was more of a conceptual designer Rather than a real functional designer and I think it was a big mistake to create this type of constructions as usually people will not hang out in the community areas , I am from Venezuela and we have so many buildings like this and they are a travesty. But I do love his furniture 👍🏼😊
