Jonathan Glancey BBC 02.05.2013 “Le Corbusier's Unité: Is it a modern classic?” Cytat (jęz. angielski): Fashionable today, the Unité d’Habitation is respected and even loved by those who choose to live here as well as by the architects, students and other visitors who come to experience this remarkable essay in modern design. They like the fact that the building is at once “a machine for living”, a mesmerising structure and a lovely place to live. What local authorities around the world asked for instead from the 1950s was a form of low-cost, quick-build mass housing that, although superficially influenced by Le Corbusier, was nothing like this gifted architect’s work; it was like wanting a Picasso for the price of a picture postcard. In the design of L’Unité d’Habitation, Le Corbusier offered ordinary families architecture of the highest and most inventive order and even what may yet become, and confounding his critics, a World Heritage Site. https://www.bbc.com/culture/article/20130423-design-icon-or-concrete-horror
