For storytellers
Why Cité Radieuse matters
This concrete block on stilts was Le Corbusier's idea of vertical living: shops, a school and a rooftop terrace inside one building. Residents still live there. Visitors can see a model apartment, browse the shops and have a drink on the roof.
Talking points
- It is part of Le Corbusier's UNESCO-listed works.
