In 1929, the Cit\u00e9 de Refuge was the first large Paris-based commission\nto have been awarded to Charles-Edouard Jeanneret, known as Le\nCorbusier, and his cousin Pierre Jeanneret.<\/p>\n

This ambitious project was based on the social ideals of the\nSalvation Army to accommodate people in need of housing and social\nreintegration, and yet was in itself a work of art. The finished building\noffered a perfect illustration of Le Corbusier\u2019s ideas at the time and\nwas a remarkable application of the five-point theory of modern\narchitecture.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t

The decision was made to give back\nto this social project designed by\nLe Corbusier and Pierre Jeanneret\na lucidity and clarity worthy of a major\nwork of the 20th century.<\/h2>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

The building suffered extensive damage during World War II, which\nled Le Corbusier to create a second fa\u00e7ade in 1952, giving the\nconstruction a completely different appearance. Rash improvement\nprojects carried out in the 1970s and later modifications gradually hid\nthe building\u2019s major qualities.<\/p>\n

The project of major redevelopment and restoration was of\ngreat theoretical, technical, and financial complexity. Its success was\nthe outcome of a collaborative method that involved the Salvation\nArmy Foundation, the Le Corbusier Foundation, the \u201cConservation\nr\u00e9gionale des monuments historiques\u201d (Regional Commissioner for\nHistoric Monuments), the \u201cCommission du Vieux Paris\u201d (Commission\nfor Historical Paris), the social housing company 3F R\u00e9sidences and\nthe construction company Bateg, part of the Vinci group.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t

We adapted the building to the requirements of contemporary life,\ninstilling it with lucidity and clarity by means of partial restorations\nand the restitution of details found through the study of archive\ndocumentation. We also consulted numerous experts on the colours\nused at the time of the original construction.<\/p>\n

The exemplary nature of the project was awarded the Geste\nd\u2019Or prize in 2015 in the category \u201cArchitecture, Urbanism and\nSociety\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
