From 21 to 19 September 2025, discover the exhibition retracing the 60 years of the building in the foyer-bar of the Maison de la Culture, Firminy.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

On 21 May 1965, Le Corbusier laid the foundation stone for the Unit\u00e9 d’Habitation de Firminy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Conceived as a 130-metre high \u2018vertical city\u2019, it combines individual housing and community facilities. This last of five units built worldwide was completed after the architect’s death by his collaborator Andr\u00e9 Wogenscky.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To mark its sixtieth anniversary, an exhibition looks back at this milestone in the history of both the project and the district.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The exhibition, organised by the Association of Le Corbusier Sites inhabitants<\/a> in partnership with the Site Le Corbusier team, features a selection of archive material: plans, photographs, correspondence, press extracts, 8 mm films and a reproduction of the wooden sculpture that adorns the fa\u00e7ade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These documents, drawn in particular from the collections of the City of Firminy<\/a>, the Le Corbusier Foundation and the Claudius-Petit family, trace the modern ambitions of the architecture of the 1960s and the human history of the district.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
