Architekturführer Paris

The Architecture Guide to Paris showcases more than 250 buildings that have emerged since 1898 between the city center and the suburbs. Off the beaten path, this selection invites a reevaluation of structures that have sometimes been unjustly forgotten. Paris is not only an international metropolis with twelve million inhabitants but also serves as an urban conquest area and architectural testing ground. Jean-Philippe Hugron expertly guides readers to well-known and surprising locations in the French capital: stroll in the shadow of Ricardo Bofill in Noisy-le-Grand and Dom Bellot in Vanves. Approach the modern and brutalist ensembles of the first ring surrounding the French capital. Experience the enthusiasm of the Trente Glorieuses and their vertical craziness, or even the ambitious Grands Travaux of the Mitterrand era.
