Depends on what you think of that visionary concept: a city-in-the-sky that attracted plause as much as controversy. Love it or hate it, it never ceases to inspire us. 

Its exploration is the starting point for a record and book by Stefano Meneghetti together with an eclectic band of musicians, architects and writers.

Discover what the project is about. And don't forget to lay your own brick to help this radiant building grow.

Fuelled by a keen interest in architecture, music, and design, Stefano Meneghetti and his friends named their album Cité Radieuse out of admiration for a legendary, multi-faceted and wildly innovative architect. "Corbu" designed his city-like housing project with an aim to fostering harmonious relationships among its inhabitants.

Sound research and experimentation are the focal points of this musical partnership. 

The album develops an architecture of electronic sounds incorporating diverse influences.

A city is not only an environment of spaces and forms. Inevitably, it also expresses its dimension through sounds: each environment has its own acoustic imprint reflecting human activities, their relationships with the world and with each other. The idea of a Cité Radiuese, an ideal and utopian city-within-a-city, conceived by Le Corbusier for people and their needs, immediately enthralled me for its “humanity”: drawing me closer to a world of sound that can underline or accentuate possible emotional meeting points in the multifaceted reality of the modern city.
