Opis

Paris Under Construction explores the social, political and cultural responses to construction work and urban transformation in Paris during the 1960s, arguing for the need to place social interaction and collaboration at the heart of the design and construction of cities.

Recenzje

"Through the eyes of Henri Lefebvre, Paskins takes a bold new look at Paris's second cataclysmic transformation in the 1960s. Weaving together disparate threads of France's postwar national identity, corporate capitalism, and the lives of immigrant construction workers, Paskins uses official documents and non-traditional resources to reconstruct the production of Paris's multilayered urban fabric and come up with a radical new definition of architectural history." –Meredith L. Clausen, University of Washington
