# Le Corbusier builds the Cabanon at Roquebrune-Cap-Martin, a 3.66 m Modulor cabin as a minimum dwelling cell

Date: 1952

## The fact

In 1951–52 [Le Corbusier](/people/le-corbusier) built the Cabanon, a timber Modulor cabin of about fifteen square metres at Roquebrune-Cap-Martin, a minimum cell he used. Industrial path: a lived experiment in the smallest dwelling, distinct from Unité’s slab. Eileen Gray’s nearby E-1027 is another architect’s house; later stories of that neighbourhood are not cloned as extra LC Facts without being his building.

## Context

Unité is the same year’s housing bar. Ronchamp is the chapel. This is the cabin. Later tourist visits are reception. UNESCO of the Cabanon is not 1952.

## Evidence and sources

Fondation Le Corbusier independently lists the Cabanon. Britannica independently notes the Roquebrune cabin in the late life. Architectural guides independently describe the 3.66 m cell. No unique 1952 overnight series is invented. Archival locator: Fondation Le Corbusier — English portal at https://www.fondationlecorbusier.fr/en/ (Fondation Le Corbusier).

## Significance

A lived minimum cell is an industrial path of modest size. High confidence on 1952. Later listing is reception.

Later competitions, monuments, translations, UNESCO listings, museums, and adaptations are not converted into extra lifetime acts.

## What is established and what is not

Established: 1952 Cabanon as his. Not established: a unique kit-sales series. August 1952 neighbourhood. Not 1965 death as this act. Not UNESCO.

The contribution type is direct. The attached driver is [industrial-policy-activism](/drivers/industrial-policy-activism). The welfare reading used in this dossier is improving. That reading is an impact-path choice, not a property stored on the Fact itself.

Confidence is stated on the impact path, not hidden in adjectives. He died swimming off this coast in 1965; the death is not a building-act. Mixed effects of Le Corbusier builds the Cabanon at Roquebrune-Cap-Martin, a 3.66 m Modulor cabin as a minimum dwelling cell are separate paths.

Shared responsibility is part of Le Corbusier builds the Cabanon at Roquebrune-Cap-Martin, a 3.66 m Modulor cabin as a minimum dwelling cell. Naming Le Corbusier does not delete co-authors, institutions, or later transmitters. The lag from 1952-08-01 to any measured indicator is not treated as zero. Alternative explanations — weather, other armies, later statutes, or independent cultural change — remain live where the sources do not close them.
