Based on the facade of the 'Unité d'Habitation' in Marseille, completed in 1948, and one of the key monuments of the Modern Movement. The design was created according to 'le modulor' system of measurement devised by Le Corbusier and derived from human proportions. Langlands & Bell are well-known for exploring our experience of architecture at many different levels in their work.
