Le Quartier de Frugés

The project was commissioned to Le Corbusier by Mr. Frugés the owner of a big factory around Bordeaux. The main idea was to create a standardized set of houses that would be easy to build and not expensive as they were destined to be inhabited by the factory workers. Le Corbusier created a set of three different types of houses based on the idea of standardization and designed the ensemble of the houses. Today, most of the houses have been already changed and/or destroyed. Although people are starting to make efforts to restore and save this patrimony.
