A visit to E1027


A tour through E1027 by the architects Eileen Gray & Jean Badovici with murals by Le Corbusier. I visited the house in 1998 while inter-railing with friends. Restoration of house is going along slowly under Agenge P.A. Gatier.

The owner of the house was murdered here a few months before these photos were taken. There were still pots and pans which were unwashed in the kitchen,-the place seemed like a squat. I just hopped over the fence and walked in. You can't do that anymore though.
