This book focuses on buildings erected in the past ten years including projects which are still under construction. These are not just the internationally acclaimed architecural masterpieces such as Le Grand Louvre, the Parc de la Villette or the Bibliotheque Francois Metterrand, but also major context-related planing schemes such as the Bercy or the Andre Citroen parks. Projects designed to meet the everyday requirements of city-dwellers, such as government housing schemes and community developments have also been selected for inclusion. The book provides a critical analysis of both older and more recent developments in the Parisian cityscape in relation to their historical background, and reveals the impressive panorama of present-day, exemplary, architecural projects.
