I don’t get why people say these buildings look depressing. They look dope to me. Unite d’habitation is the name of it.

Unfortunately, the original Unité d’Habitation by Le Corbusier in Marseille has turned into a bourgeois swamp :(.

They ruin everything

hmmm…

Kitchen looks to be below the common hallway, might be an issue if there is a fire bad enough to cause an evacuation.

Bedroom could be above Kitchen. Might make it easier for folks working evenings/nights (not having to hear televisions or people hanging out), assuming people spend more time in the living room than in the kitchen.

Honestly if there is a fire, most modern apartment buildings have solid suppression systems. Plus everything is concrete.

Less worried about heat and flames… mostly thinking about smoke. In the off chance there was an explosion from the stove it could drop the hallway floor that is its roof or weaken the floor to the point that people moving around trying to figure out what happened could cause a collapse under their feet. And I’d hope that the vent hood is easy to keep clean over the stove.

I mean, I’d imagine that smarter people than me would have already engineered and/or overbuilt those areas with those points in mind though.

I argue that Brutalism is inherently marxist, and is necessary for a classless and collectivist society
