Sky-Scraper, Le Corbusier
It is in the form of a cross, thus doing away with an internal court and giving a maximum stability. The facades are deeply serrated and form veritable traps for light.ees, allowing 10 square yards per person: that one 540 feet long would be 40,000.

Plan Voisin, Le Corbusier
As a proposal for the city center of Paris the plan calls for 18 cruciform glass towers, placed on a rectangular grid in an enormous park-like green space, with triple-tiered pedestrian malls with stepped terraces placed intermittently between them. Extending perpendicularly to the west, there would be an adjacent rectangle of low-rise residential, governmental, and cultural buildings amid more green space.

The centerpiece of the plan is a transportation hub which houses depots for buses and trains as well as highway intersections and at the top, an airport. It is surrounded by six cruciform skyscrapers. Outside the center smaller multi-story zigzag blocks set in green space and set far back from the street house the proletarian workers.

Dwellings with Set-Backs, Le Corbusier
In this plan the main arteries are shown as 150 feet in width, and forming squareblocks 400 x 600 yards in area. Every 200 yards lesser streets occur. The large islands sites thus formed could be enclosed by railings. Leading right up to the entrances are private roads withwhere. The amount of ground which is built over is 15 percent of the total area, leaving 85 percent of open space. The density of population is 120 persons to the acre as against 145 in Paris at the time.
