Pierre Charpin | APPT.N°50 Le Corbusier | Marseille

Appt.N°50, in Le Corbusier´s famous Unité d'Habitation in Marseille, is almost completely preserved in its original 1952 condition. The appartment is privately owned by Jean-Marc Drut that, in 2008, started a biennial series of installations inviting a contemporary designer to revisit the appartment and demostrate the actuality of Le Corbusier´s vision.

After Konstantin Grcic in 2012 (read it here), Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec in 2010 and Jasper Morrison in 2008, the Appartement N°50 will be revisited by Pierre Charpin and opened to visitors from next 15 of July to 15 of August 2014.
