The "Burdeau" Bridge building in Telemly in Algiers is a true architectural feat that includes a road on its terrace overlooking homes. It has 7 floors with 82 apartments. It is built above the Burdeau ravine.
This work was created by the architect L. Pierre Marie in 1952, according to an application of the idea of viaduct buildings conceived by Le Corbusier.
The concept of the inhabited viaduct was proposed by Le Corbusier for two urban planning projects: a project for Rio de Janeiro presented in 1929 and the "Plan Obus" of 1930 for the city of Algiers. This plan included a curvilinear highway raised by stilts, it extends over 10 km around the Bay of Algiers, it connects the center of Algiers to its suburbs (El-Harrach to Saint Eugène). This viaduct contains 14 levels of housing intended for the working class and can contain 180,000 inhabitants.
