Cité internationale universitaire de Paris, University residence campus in the 14th arrondissement, Paris, France

The Cité Internationale Universitaire de Paris is a 34-hectare campus in the 14th arrondissement, bounded by the Boulevard Périphérique and the Boulevard Jourdan. Its 40 houses include the Maison Internationale, a long stone building with a pale beige facade, a steep grey slate roof and the inscriptions "UNIVERSITE DE PARIS" and "MAISON INTERNATIONALE". The central block has an arched entrance flanked by arcades, two rows of windows and wings ending in pavilions with pyramidal roofs.

André Honnorat founded this project in 1920 to house international students. The first residence, the Deutsch de la Meurthe Foundation building, opened in 1925 and became the foundation for this growing community.

The houses are named after their donor countries or patrons, from the Fondation Biermans-Lapôtre to the Maison du Japon, yet 30 to 50 percent of residents in each may come from elsewhere. In 2006 students of 132 nationalities lived here. No place of worship could be built on the grounds, so the Catholic church of Sacré-Cœur was raised in neighbouring Gentilly in 1936.

The campus lies in the 14th arrondissement, bounded by the Boulevard Périphérique and partly by the Parc Montsouris. It is served by the Cité Universitaire station on RER line B and the Cité Universitaire stop on tramway T3a. The Maison Internationale, inscribed on its facade, stands at the centre of the grounds, with the national houses arranged around it.

Le Corbusier designed the Brazil House with modern elements that stand apart from the traditional architectural styles of other buildings on the campus. This structure exemplifies how different design approaches coexist across the grounds.
