This building was developed as a prototype model for variable and flexible application; it is one of Le Corbusier's last works, which he called "Maison d'homme" (House of Man). It hosts exhibitions of Le Corbusier's drawings and paintings, as well as conferences and documentaries that, in keeping with his vision, promote efforts toward a better human environment. The assembly system was further developed in collaboration with engineers Professor Jean Prouve and M. Fruitet.
