10 great and Iconic buildings, no. 9

This list is invented to make some quick and easy blogs for this month filled with festivities. I chose the buildings because i think they belong to the most important from all buildings realized in the last 100 years.

So here is no. 9. the Cité Radieuse by Le Corbusier

This big appartments building in Marseille was a source of Inspiration voor many apartment buildings that were realized after this was finished. The outside colors are inspired by BAUHAUS and executed in a special concrete paint in primary colors. The buidling is build from 100% armored concrete and includes 337 separate apartments. A community palyground was specially made for the occupants of these apartments. Since 2016 it belongs to the World Heritage list of Unesco
