Communal Houses in Architectural Herit-age of Le Corbusier. Unité d'Habitation (1945–1952)

Le Corbusier's Unité d'Habitation (1945–1952), a landmark of modernist and brutalist architecture, exemplifies radical innovation in multi-storey communal housing design. This study reveals how the building's layout—characterized by repetitive, modular units—challenged conventional residential planning while integrating functionalism with bold aesthetic experimentation. The analysis focuses on Le Corbusier's integration of structural efficiency, spatial organization, and urbanist principles, demonstrating his ability to merge technical rigor with artistic vision. By dissecting floor plans and architectural concepts, the research underscores the Unité's enduring influence as a prototype for post-war housing solutions.
