Architectural work of Le Corbusier in Paris and freedom of decision. Housing architecture

Le Corbusier's architectural work in Paris was significantly shaped by professional constraints and evolving conditions, leading to distinctive residential designs that reflect both his innovative vision and the practical challenges of their time. This study reveals how these limitations—ranging from investor relations to urban planning regulations—influenced the final form of his buildings, such as the Unité d'Habitation. Through on-site analysis, archival research, and interviews with users, the authors document the transformations these structures underwent over the 20th century, highlighting their enduring impact on modern housing architecture.
