Our daily round-up of news from the art world
Interior in Berlin refurbished to plans by Le Corbusier | The German-American architect Philipp Mohr has completed the refurbishment of an apartment in Berlin, following the unrealised plans of the Swiss-French modernist architect Le Corbusier, reports Dezeen. The apartment is located in Berlin’s Unité d’Habitation, which was designed by Le Corbusier and constructed in 1958. A disagreement between the architect and local planning authorities saw significant alterations to the interior plan, however. Mohr purchased the apartment in 2016, and decided to refurbish after realising that the building’s interior had originally been intended to correspond with the original Unité d’Habitation in Marseille.
