On July 17, 2026, the international community will celebrate the 10th anniversary of the inscription of “The Architectural Work of Le Corbusier” on the UNESCO World Heritage List. This anniversary holds special significance at the Apartment-Studio in the Immeuble Molitor, the architect’s intimate living and creative space. This space perfectly embodies the search for architectural solutions adapted to the changing needs of modern humanity. As Philippe Prost, President of the Le Corbusier Foundation, points out, these ten years of protection have fostered a greater awareness of the importance of this body of work and of sharing it with all users, residents, and visitors. This anniversary serves as a reminder of the long-term commitment of all stakeholders to meeting the challenges of tomorrow: large-scale restoration projects and inclusive outreach. To mark the occasion, a major international program of festivities is being offered, including a photo contest, educational activities for young audiences, exclusive tours, and lectures.

The Apartment-Studio of Le Corbusier reveals an intimate side of the master of modern architecture, who lived here for almost thirty years with his wife. A fully experimental laboratory, the Apartment-studio is a 240 m2 duplex on the 7th and 8th floors of the Molitor Building, designed and built by Le Corbusier and Pierre Jeanneret between 1931 and 1934. With eight floors of all-glass facades, the architects created the first glass apartment building in architectural history. The Molitor Building was inscribed on the World Heritage List in 2016, along with 16 other sites of Le Corbusier.
