Utopies Réalisées - Made Utopias
Le Corbusier Site in Firminy is part of the "achieved utopias" network which brings together 5 of the Modern Movement landmarks all located in urban area of Lyon. Each tells a chapter in a fascinating story, one of the major social and urban utopias of the past century. These utopias are born from the meeting of the visionary architects and audacious builders, who shared the conviction that modern architecture and urban planning can contribute to a better world.
