The Unité d’Habitation was structured in France, Marseille which expressed the Le Corbusier ’s urban family of lodging. The project was completed by 1952. The result was a self-contained concrete vessel that's structured like a liner. Le Corbusier believed the tower block itself was the complete solution for completely resettling the multitude that had been dislodged during the second world war at the moment of time. It has a childish appeal, like the building itself, which jumps out of its surroundings and sings colour from its windows in the front of the concrete structured building. The approach of the Modernist aesthetic was one among reduction and simplification, modern architects, including Le Corbusier, sought to scale back buildings and style to ‘pure’ and functional forms. As mass-production gave rise to the ‘machine age,’ Le Corbusier and his contemporaries sought a similarly streamlined approach to style and living habits.
Le Corbusier’s principles have generated considerable criticism within the decades since. The materials used for the pilotis of under the Unité d’habitation structural building which had been reinforced and be used with beton-brut concrete which in high relation is a rough cast concrete. But the reason why they were made at such an angle was to give the indication that the horizontal and vertical lines combined with the scale of the building itself shows how it impacted the expectations during the future of the brutalist architectures.
