Le Corbusier's Cabanon replica


a 1:1 replica of Le Cabanon, a 1952 beach hut which was one of very few structures designed by the architect for his own use (although not, contrary to the press bumph, the only one). The reconstruction sticks to the interior’s precise dimensions, but does not attempt to reconstruct the wooden exterior. Instead there is a black façade which is in fact a blackboard, with chalk to inspire ‘participatory’ interaction with what was originally an intensely private space.
found at frieze
