The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
La cité ouvrière de Pessac est réalisée en 1925, à l'initiative de l'industriel Henry Frugès qui confia le projet à Le Corbusier. La cité est conçue selon des regroupements qui permettent un jeu combinatoire ménageant les exigences plastiques de l'architecte. Quatre types de maisons combinées s'imposent : quinconce, arcade, gratte-ciel et zig-zag ainsi que quelques maisons isolées spécifiques. L'expérience ambitieuse de Pessac sera publiée dans le monde entier et se pose comme un modèle incontournable.

History
The worker housing estate of Pessac was completed in 1925, at the initiative of industrialist Henry Frugès who entrusted the project to Le Corbusier. The estate is designed according to groupings which allow a combinatory play meeting the aesthetic requirements of the architect. Four types of combined houses are imposed: staggered rows, arcade, high-rise and zig-zag as well as a few specific isolated houses. The ambitious Pessac experiment will be published throughout the world and stands as an inescapable model.
