Description:
|
|
Le Corbusier's Porte Molitor condominium block (1931-1934), overlooking the Parc des Princes, Paris, provided him with a home for the rest of his life, but due to a bank failure brought him close to bankruptcy. He invested in the project and contracted to buy the sixth and seventh floors, which he designed as a penthouse flat and studio for Yvonne and himself. The design comes from a free sketch made in 1929 labelled Ma maison, in which he used industrial shell vaults of a kind pioneered by Auguste Perret. The studio has concrete vaults and rubble masonry walls, and the bedroom has a rich, organic play of volumes and spaces. (Source: Grove Art Online; http://www.groveart.com/)
