Building and Demolishing the Faubourg Saint-Antoine (1930-1990) - 2015.
21
Since the 1990s, the urban history of the Faubourg Saint-Antoine has cast light on the aesthetic and urban qualities of anarchic suburban settings. From the Interwar period until the end of the 20th century, the district was accused of suffering architectural and urban delays, creating unfit and insalubrious housing, questioning urbanism and architecture. Therefore, after the Second World War, town planning aimed to promote urban renewal and architectural modernity so that suburban districts could fulfil the needs for housing, comfort and leisure. In 1961 , a new master plan was implemented to reshape Paris, threatening the district until urban history brought the Faubourg Saint-Antoine’s qualities to everyone’s notice, changing Parisians’ point of view, leading to more respectful architectural and urban concepts. Detailed master plans were soon established while the municipality, architects and town planners adapted their work to reconcile urban memory and modernity.
