Sažetak
In this article, that was based on research of original archive designs from Fondationa Le Corbusier in Paris, especially on executive plans of the first after the war constructed condo building in France (Marseille, Boulevard Michelet 280), the author is analyzing the development of reinforced concrete constructions and the use of specific prefabrication technology in Le Corbusier's scope of work, one of the greatest architects of 20th century. The aim of the article is to show his unique and complex approach to shaping the reinforced concrete and use of prefabrication, and perhaps the possibility of contemporary use of design solutions of Marseilles condo prototype. The article also presents the development of Le Corbusier's vision of multi-condo buildings which were constructed after the 2nd World War. Because of the architect's specific approach to designing, which was enabled by using reinforced concrete, during that time those buildings presented an example of comfort and quality of living par excellence.
