Unité d'habitation of Briey, Modern residential complex in Val de Briey, France
The Unité d'Habitation spans 110 meters in length and rises 56 meters high, containing 339 duplex apartments distributed across 17 floors with six internal streets.
Built between 1959 and 1960, this residential structure emerged during a period of industrial growth to address housing needs in the Lorraine mining region.
The building demonstrates Le Corbusier's architectural principles through its vertical organization, reinforced concrete construction, and integration of communal spaces within residential zones.
Located at coordinates 49.2603, 5.92806, the structure houses a nursing school within its premises and regularly hosts the Architectural Impressions book festival.
The building experienced complete abandonment in 1984 but avoided demolition through community action, leading to its transformation into privately owned residences.
