Plan Voisin (Le Corbusier) - madness or genius?

agreement, the so-called Plan Voisin of the Swiss-French architect Le Corbusier (1887 - 1965) a term. Many know him, but her only by name, so here's the short version:

This is an urban utopia, which was dated to the year 1925. The design shows 18 cross-shaped towers, which are arranged on a grid-like open spaces. He wanted to the quest for air, light and health and to express himself apart from the densely populated inner cities. For this reason, he chose as Place of implementation of the Paris. This fact makes the design of many People seem a bit extreme. The plan was

Voisin, after that there is a law for conservation, never implemented in its most extreme form, and many people hold back for the bare madness, he sure is a big part too.
But he has inspired many architects and urban planners who were some of Le Corbusier's ideas and ideologies into their designs. This, however, favored the emergence of the so-called satellite cities that hinexistieren today many more bad than good to himself. This also includes those cities or neighborhoods that were within a short period of time to meet the increased housing needs of the population (eg: Villes Nouvelles planned cities in France or in Germany).
That fact shows again that a utopia can be implemented not 1:1 because in reality most things do not go as smoothly as on a draft paper.
However, there are also examples of districts in which only became part of Le Corbusier's concept implemented. These housing developments (mostly, these are large housing estates to ) work for themselves quite well, even if they communicate at the city level, not necessarily with their spatial environment.

Verblendarbeiten are completed ...

13th November 2010

This week it is now managed at last - the Verblendarbeiten have been completed.



















Nearly 5 weeks, the masons who worked on our house. On Wednesday, then Roll the layers in the window sills have been completed.

on Tuesday was also the last, missing windows installed and thus this union is also closed.

Only the roof, there is unfortunately still not the desired progress. While it was developed in the meantime a solution to the gable crowns, was executed for the well by a structural engineer the necessary thermal bridge calculations, but it was time to see another detail: The chosen solution requires a hard foam insulation, the minimum with the required thermal insulation values. 2 weeks delivery time has. In addition, the solution also appeared
constructive not be optimal. Therefore, we have
on Friday with the site manager developed a new solution that can be realized with a soft insulation - and that we already have insulation in the building stock.
Therefore, the new solution was again calculated by our structural engineers and quality inspectors and checked - with the hope that the roofers will begin on Tuesday finally can.

The windows are there ...

05th November 2010

There are again two intense weeks behind us. The determined clearest result is that now Sogut as all the windows are installed. The record company has delivered to us very good and fast work - we are totally satisfied.













The Elektrorohinstallation is ongoing. The company has Ramm & Antzcak within two days all the wiring implemented including special needs and we left a good impression.

The Verblendarbeiten could not be completed because we had to endure in the last days of continuous rain, so the builders probably have the next week will be beschäfftigt.

Only the roof, there are still significant problems. The batten was indeed correct, however, our developers so far failed to produce a detailed design of the gable crowns, both the energy and static Requirements. The roofers had to pack up yesterday morning again, because the envisaged construction works.
since 5 August, we urge a suitable solution but so far our builder or structural engineer to be sold nothing useful.
We are really angry, because the weather is better and the developers will finally ensure that the roof is closed.
Moreover, as long as the roof is not covered, the drywall does not start and hang on the turn, the plastering, the sanitary installations, etc. - caused a further delay would be unnecessary.

FREMO meeting Rosenheim

About All Saints I was at a meeting in FREMO Rosenheim. A great thing when model railroaders together from several different countries who bring their modules and then 3 days pass "on schedule".
