Fondation suisse, Modern university dormitory in Cité internationale universitaire, France
The Fondation suisse rises five floors on concrete pillars with large windows spanning the length of its primary facade at Boulevard Jourdan.
Completed in 1933 under the direction of Rudolf Fueter, this residential structure was designed by Le Corbusier and Pierre Jeanneret during early modernist movements.
The building houses Swiss students and researchers in Paris while promoting educational exchanges between Switzerland and France through various academic programs.
Students with Swiss nationality or C-residence permits can apply for accommodation periods lasting up to one year through the foundation's official website.
The structure combines raw concrete surfaces with glass walls, creating spaces flooded with natural light through precisely calculated window placements.
