Résumé:
Text in English and German. Third Revised Edition 2018. If there is one building by Le Corbusier that represents a synthesis of his basic concepts it is certainly the Unité d’habitation built in Marseille in 1946-52. This built manifesto does not simply put forward a social model as a utopia, but also the unity of architecture and town planning. It is one of the most significant buildings there has ever been, but it also triggered a great deal of controversy. Despite all the criticism, it obviously still offers functional advantages that make it easier for individuals and the community to live together. As well as this, the building also offers something special in terms of concrete spatial experience. In the age of a superficial 'adventure society' it claims the intensity of an everyday experience that is both casual and at the same time complex, embracing all the senses.

Patrick Bouchain est passé maître dans l’art de capter, de fédérer, de révéler les intelligences et les savoir-faire pour habiter le monde autrement.

Résumé:
Of all of the Brazilian modernist Oscar Niemeyer’s many built works, his Algerian projects are among the least well known. Beginning in 1968, Algeria’s President Houari Boumediene commissioned Niemeyer to build two universities and an Olympic sports hall, as well as a series of large-scale, never-realized projects across Algeria, in an attempt to forge a modernist, independent nation. In 2013, Jason Oddy produced an in-depth photographic survey of these buildings as they exist in Algeria today. This publication collects those images alongside archival documents and Oddy’s further research into Niemeyer’s Algerian work in order to explore the revolutionary politics that inspired and formed these buildings.
