View of a project drawing for a tenement building on the edge of the Seine River, France

Date:

between 1927 and 1929

Description:

Project described by Christian de Bonnefoi, Encyclopaedia Universalis 2000 in Journal de l'Atelier d'Architecture (USTO) as follows: "En 1927-1928, il élabore une série de projets utopiques pour le bord de la Seine. [...] Un projet pour un "immeuble à habitations et garage" qui pouvait être édifié sur un terrain vaste de 32 000 mètres carrés comprenait six cents appartements, un garage pour quatre mille voitures, quatre salles de tennis, un restaurant et une piscine. Ces projets représentent de vastes organismes urbains où la typologie pyramidale est envisagée à très grande échelle. Ces formes englobantes abritent des équipements qui transforment la ville en cité futuriste...".
