This analysis of the meaning of the concept of the 'home' in the works of Le Corbusier describes the role played by refection on the traditional, cultural comprehension of the home in the pioneering, avant-garde conceptions proposed b the French architect. It also considers the way in which the individual and the family are defined vis a vis a vision of communal life in functional residential units (the prototype 'blocks'). Ultimately, theory is confirmed by means of praxis by attempting to answer the question: how do the inhabitants of the realised residential units perceive the designer's visions, and do they identify themselves with them?
