The Unité d'Habitation in Marseille, France was Le Corbusier's first large-scale housing project completed in 1952. It consisted of 337 apartments spread across 18 floors designed with communal spaces like shops and a roof garden to encourage social interaction. The building used reinforced concrete and employed Le Corbusier's modular system to ensure proper human scale. It was an early example of high-density housing that influenced the Brutalist style through its use of exposed concrete construction.
The Kanchanjunga Apartments, designed by Charles Correa, are a direct response to the present culture, the escalating urbanization, and the climatic conditions for the region. They pay homage to the vernacular architecture that once stood on the site before the development in a number of ways. More on Kanchanjunga Apartments after the break.
A brief description on Le Corbusier's life, design philosophies & some projects including a detailed case study. I recommend viewers to download the presentation and then view it bcoz many slides (slide 12) are apparently useless without animation!!

As the flagship project for the next downtown Boston neighborhood slated for growth, Atlantic Wharf will be the city of Boston’s first LEED Gold mixed-use development. CBT Architects presents a case study on this new one million square foot project that includes approximately 65 residential units, ground-level retail and public spaces, six stories of below-grade parking, and 31 floors of office space that will bring urban activity directly to the Fort Point Channel water’s edge.
The new sustainable development is at the base of a series of restored and renovated historic structures that preserve the texture and streetscape of this site, integrated with a modern highrise glass tower. By preserving the south and east façades of the historic warehouses, using a very energy-efficient curtainwall, and employing green roof technologies, Atlantic Wharf will be the a centerpiece of Boston's green development.
He was an architect, designer, urbanist, writer, and one of the pioneers of what is now called modern architecture.
He was a pioneer in studies of modern high design and was dedicated to providing better living conditions for the residents of crowded cities
The presentation covers general details about architect , Villa Sovoye, Centre Le Corbusier and few other works

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

3. Unité d'Habitation, Marseille
After World War II, the need for housing was at an unprecedented high.
The Unite d’Habitation in Marseille, France was the first large scale
project for the famed architect, Le Corbusier. In 1947, Europe was still
feeling the effects of the Second World War, when Le Corbusier was
commissioned to design a multi-family residential housing project for the
people of Marseille that were dislocated after the bombings on France.
Completed in 1952, the Unite d’ Habitation was the first of a new
housing project series for Le Corbusier that focused on communal living
for all the inhabitants to shop, play, live, and come together in a “vertical
garden city.”
With nearly 1,600 residents divided among 18 floors, the design requires
an innovative approach toward spatial organization to accommodate the
living spaces, as well as the public, communal spaces. Interestingly
enough, the majority of the communal aspects do not occur within the
building; rather they are placed on the roof.
Unite d’Habitation is one of Le Corbusier’s most important projects, as
well as one of the most innovative architectural responses to a
residential building. So much so, that the Unite d’ Habitation is said to
have influenced the Brutalist Style with the use of beton-brut concrete.
4. CONCEPT OF THE ARCHITECT
It’s transoceanic , sustainable society,
town houses feed and entertain
thousands of passengers in a very
limited space and project for the new
concept of a common housing.
The Unite d 'Habitation is bulky and
looks like an ocean liner.
This huge volume seems to float.
The horizontal windows look like ship
cabin windows.
On the roof (roof garden) ventilation
sculptures looks like the upper deck
and the chimneys.
5. ENVIRONMENT AND CULTURAL
CONDITIONS
Designed as a " vertical garden city' unlike villa
construction.
located on Boulevard Michelet, in the elegant suburbs
of Marseille in France.
Designed specifically to rehouse victims of destroyed
neighbourhoods of the city after the 2nd World War
and to put in place an innovative project.
It is an early model building capable in anywhere
positioned.
6. CONCEPT OF SPACE
Le Corbusier deliver an analogue system
modulor.
Balance, series of Fibonacci (the
mathemathecian), operating ratios of the
human body and use of modulor in Unité
d'habitation.
Its not just a series of numbers with inner
harmony but it is for a measurement system
governing lengths, surfaces and volumes and
everywhere maintains the human scale.
7. PLANNING
We see that the commingling
of residents was on the roof ,
which hosted various
activities. The ground floor
and the main corridors were
designed to resemble the
streets of a neighbourhood.
Bright apartment covering
the full width of the building,
have sea view mountain
view.
Unlike most housing projects
that have a “double-stacked”,
Le Corbusier designed the
units to span from each side
of the building, as well as
having a double height living
space reducing the number
of required corridors to one
every three floors.
8. INTERIOR DESIGN
The apartments are private.
Located around internal central corridors. On one side of the hallway you enter the lower
level of an apartment and on the other you may enter the upper level of the adjacent
interconnected.
Each unit has two floors connected by an internal staircase leading to the narrow bedrooms
and a double-height space , living room with a wall around windows, allowing a complete
picture of the landscape.
Extending from one side of the building to another and provides balcony.
The project is not completely free , the partition wall is load bearing , releasing the facades
, and providing soundproofing from lead sheets.
In the kitchen, shelves are sliding and moving, creating new opportunities
9. LIGHT AND SUN PROTECTION
Innovations which resolve isolation and light
problems with concrete shutters Balcony sun
protections.
Shelters exceeding from the main body building
Apartments are covering the whole floor but allow
to natural light and Ventilation to be permeable in
both sides and also surround the apartments.
Each apartment is decorated with a large glass wall
Internal corridors are dark. The only source of light
comes from the lights above doors.
10. BUILDING MATERIAL
The materials used are reinforced concrete and glass, without ornaments
and elegance.
This reveals the greatness of possibilities using reinforced concrete as a
natural material.
Often referred to as the original inspiration of the Brutalist architecture and
philosophy.
11. EXTERNAL STRUCTURE
Located in a large park.
The north side is blind due to cold winds.
It consists of 337 apartments of different
sizes , placed on the pilotis creating traffic
areas below.
Discloses the structural core , through the
use of concrete balconies.
Uses independent concrete structure, while
the pay elements are prefabricated , so the
apartments come and slide the frame.
12. TERRACE
The roof becomes a garden terrace that has a 300 m
running track, a club, a kindergarten, a gym, and a
shallow pool. Beside the roof, there are shops,
medical facilities, and even a small hotel distributed
throughout the interior of the building.
The Unite d’Habitation is essentially a “city within a
city” that is spatially, as well as, functionally optimized
for the residents.
