UNESCO Adds 17 Le Corbusier Buildings to Its Storied Ranks
6 of 7
Le Corbusier designed this seaside holiday cabin on the Côte d'Azur in France, where he spent every summer from 1952 until his death in 1965. Made form prefabricated parts, the compact cabin contains a single wood-lined room with no kitchen or indoor washing facilities. (There was an adjoining restaurant on the site where Le Corbusier ate.) The architect’s colorful murals decorate the otherwise minimal interior.
