Immeuble locatif à la Porte Molitor
A glass-fronted apartment building he also lived in. Taking light and views in urban housing is the theme. A full-glass façade was radical for its time. Read how individual place is made within a collective building, against the grain of the urban block.

Highlights

  • Glass plane — How are privacy and openness negotiated?
