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
I just wanted to thank you because of the contents you share. They are really helpful, interesting and well done, you really deserve more people on your 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 My pleasure :) By coincidence I am writing at this moment about the Unite in Berlin and the Russian Narkomfin. Turns out that the 'married couple' politics was also common in the East Bloc
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.
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. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
WE WANT TO SEE MORE LE CORBUSIER PROJECT ...... YOU ARE SHARE 3 PROJECT OF HIM WHICH IS VERY INFORMATIVE . WE HOPE YOU MAKE MORE VIDEOS ABOUT HIS PROJECT. WE ARE WAITING FOR THAT ....... THANK YOU
This man is responsible for the brutalist high rise apartment buildings with non existent heat and sound insulation (your hear your neighbours all the time), small living spaces. The outside of the building is ugly, artificial, boring. Le Corbusié's legacy lived on in the the soviet style mass houing projects which are similarly inhumaine. I would make the people who are responsible for these buildings to live in one of these apartments with noisy neighbours and see how they like it. Fun fact: The bigger the apartment building, the higher the crime rates become in the area. This unnatural way of living affects the psyche of the inhabitants.
i am an architect trained in bangladesh and USA. i live in Dhaka, pracice and teach architecture at a university. i show your vidieos to my history of modern architecture class. thanks 4K.
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'.
Amazing work man thsnks a lot fot really explaining the building very much appreciated. We ll love to see more architecture content twice a month thats all we expect😍
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 ;).
On minute 4 the discussion on Le Corbusier misses out on using Brasília (Brazil's capital) as an example of his ideas of city applied to open spaces and big infrastructure!
Your content was wonderful...as i m architecture student ..it help me out amazingly for my housing case study......can u share me a link of sources u have stated below for detailed information...
Let me tell u, you have a great conrent... I know that there are less views, but wait, people will get to know about your channel... Love from india. Keep working hard and stay consistent... Waiting for more...👍👍
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.
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.
@@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.
@@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 👍🏼😊
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.
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
@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
I dont know why there re only 634 views!!
U are doing a wonderful job,mate!I deeply appreciate your efforts.
God bless you.
LOVE
Thanks a lot taisir, I´m really glad you liked the video! Tune in in a couple of days, there is a new episode coming ;)
because people are busy watching food and stupid challenges and stupid youtupers
Great video.
But these buildings should have only existed on paper. Living in these would nowadays would be an urban hell.
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

Thanks a lot isbellatab :) It really means a lot you found the videos and content interesting. There´s more to come, don´t worry!
The cinematography here is amazing man keep up the good work :)
Thanks! Doing something I love, and people like you telling me that they appreciate the content, help immensely!

More perhaps than any other architect Corbusier contributed great misery to inner city dwellers in his 'machines for living in.'A pox on his memory

Beautiful cinematography, I appreciated the section diagrams as well!
Thanks a lot Max. Appreciate the comment!
so this one is in Berlin not in marseille
Yes, this one is in Berlin. There are 5 overall
WE WANT TO SEE MORE LE CORBUSIER PROJECT ...... YOU ARE SHARE 3 PROJECT OF HIM WHICH IS VERY INFORMATIVE . WE HOPE YOU MAKE MORE VIDEOS ABOUT HIS PROJECT. WE ARE WAITING FOR THAT ....... THANK YOU
I'm already working on a new video, and it will be about Le Corbusier again Rokon! This time you are lucky ;)
I’m very excited _and waiting for that. Your videos are really fantastic .
ı absouletly loved what you had done, architects here! keep up the good work

Thanks a lot Kaleb for the kind words! Stay safe! :)
Just watched this with my son to learn more about Le Corbusier. Loved your film so much!
A million thaïs, Nicolas! 🙂 Glad you and your son enjoyed it! I have some other videos in the channel about his work - feel free!
Very nice video! Congrats!
This was really informative... thank you
Thanks Priscilla!
Initial part is amazing. Music and imagery are compatible.

Why is gray concrete with severely miscalculated indentation and no windows on 2 of the 4 sides considered architecture!
Pyramids: 0 windows
Parthenon: 0 windows
