Le Corbusier's Cité Radieuse in Marseille

My friends in Marseille run a frame worshop. They had done some framing jobs for the opening of a new art gallery in the Cité Radieuse. What the Marseillais call "la Maison du Fada" (the house of the nuts person). It is far more than a residential building. It has been conceived as a village with streets lined with shops and services. There are a lot of recreational activities and there are 2 public kid garden classrooms at the top.
