The apartment 50 remains an “Historical Monument” in the collective memory of the Unité d’Habitation in Marseille. Italian architect and designer Alessandro Mendini has become the latest designer to restyle the apartment 50 in the Unité d’Habitation of Le Corbusier, one of the most influential Brutalist buildings of all time. With this project, called Corbu, 8 Colours, Alessandro Mendini has interpreted the space of this unique apartment with a great sensitivity and poetry. His work will interact with the Original Equipments of Charlotte Perriand and Le Corbusier, as a sign of colorful and friendly tribute. The apartment has previously been fitted out by designers including Jasper Morrison (2008), Ronan - Erwan Bouroullec (2010), Konstantin Grcic (2013), Pierre Charpin (2014) and l’ECAL – Ecole Cantonale d’art de Lausanne (2015).

公寓50仍然是“历史纪念碑”的集体记忆单位在马赛。意大利建筑师兼设计师阿莱桑德罗·门迪尼(Alessandro Mendini)成为最新一位重新设计这套公寓的设计师，这套公寓位于勒·柯布西耶(Le Corbuser)的住宅单元50，这是有史以来最具影响力的布鲁塔式建筑阿莱桑德罗·门迪尼通过这个名为Corbu的8种颜色的项目，以极大的敏感性和诗意诠释了这间独特的公寓的空间。他的作品将与夏洛特·佩里德和勒·柯布西耶的原始设备进行互动，作为丰富多彩和友好致敬的标志。这套公寓以前是由包括JasperMorrison(2008)Ronan在内的设计师装修的。

Description by Alessandro Mendini: Finally I have the wonderful occasion to render homage to Le Corbusier with my delicate “performance” inside the famous Appartement 50 at the Unité d’Habitation in Marseille. I was invited by the attentive and kind landlord Jean-Marc Drut, the faithful custodian of this precious small monument, a utopian document of the perfect habitation.

阿莱桑德罗·门迪尼(Alessandro Mendini)的描述：最后，我有一个极好的机会，用我在马赛哈瓦伊特(Unitéd‘Habation)著名的50宫内的精巧“表演”来向勒柯布西耶致敬。我受到细心善良的地主让-马克·德鲁特的邀请，他是这座珍贵的小纪念碑的忠实保管人，是一份完美居所的乌托邦式文件。

I was stimulated by the spaces and the brilliant play of light, in addition the master’s use of color – warm, pictorial and essential to our sensorial enjoyment of the apartment. I selected eight colors similar to the ones he chose, and I made eight ceramic totems, each one painted with one of the eight colors. I positioned them on the railing that looks out over the living room below, with the aim of creating a diaphragm that acts on the modulation of sunlight. Then, with diagonal ribbons, I intersected the rhythm of the double-height wall panels, thinking to add a Japanese touch to the modular boiserie, which is similar to vertical tatamis.

我受到了空间和明亮的灯光的刺激，此外，主人对色彩的运用-温暖的、有图案的和必不可少的-对我们公寓的感官享受来说是必不可少的。我选择了八种类似他选择的颜色，我制作了八种陶瓷图腾，每一种都用八种颜色中的一种。我把它们放置在栏杆上，栏杆可以俯瞰下面的起居室，目的是创造一个隔膜来调节阳光。然后，用对角线丝带，我交叉了双高墙板的节奏，考虑在模块化的身体结构上增加一种日本人的感觉，类似于垂直的文身。

A Nepalese rug brings figurative expression to the living area, and adds its tragic story linked to last year’s earthquake in Katmandu. All the normal furniture of the apartment has been left in place, including the paintings and documents belonging to Le Corbusier that are always present here. Finally, in the magic of the two blue niches side by side, almost like Wunderkammern, I have placed some small polychrome objects to which I am particularly attached. I call this display of mine a “performance”, because throughout its duration, it will be a presence acting with visitors to the apartment, favoring and accentuating their reading of it.

尼泊尔地毯给居住地区带来了象征性的表达，并增加了与去年加德满都地震有关的悲剧故事。公寓的所有正常家具都已到位，包括永远存在于此的属于勒柯布西耶的绘画和文件。最后，在两个蓝色壁龛的魔力并排，几乎像Wunderkammern，我已经放置了一些小的彩色物体，我特别依附。我把我的这种表演称为“表演”，因为在整个过程中，它将是一种与参观公寓的人一起表演的方式，有利于并强调他们对它的解读。

Apartment 50 is owned by Jean-Marc Drut and Patrick Blauwart, who live in the space. Every summer since 2008 they have invited a designer or studio to overhaul the interior, and invited members of the public to come and look inside. The apartment will be open to the public from July 15th untill August 13th. Photography is by Philippe Savoir and Fondation Le Corbusier / ADAGP.

公寓50的所有者是让马克德鲁特和帕特里克布劳沃特，谁住在这个空间。自2008年以来，他们每年夏天都会邀请一位设计师或工作室对室内进行大修，并邀请公众人士前来查看室内情况。这套公寓将于7月15日至8月13日向公众开放。摄影由菲利普萨沃尔和勒柯布西耶基金会/ADAGP。
