The Cité de Muette is the first case of the use of industrialization in high-rise collective housing. It was implemented using a mixed steel framework system reinforced with pre-fabricated light-weight concrete panels, installed horizontally and vertically.
Its relevance lies in the architects’ ambition to improve house-building by incorporating the advantages of new materials: the lightness of steel, and by assembling with industrial compo­nents. However, fire regulations curtailed the development of this mixed system which seemed to be the most suitable system for systematizing dry construction.
