Working in tandem with fellow architect and town planner Jean Renaudie, the plan that Gailhoustet devised for the area was a rejection of large complexes and instead an assortment of various building types, separated by open spaces.

The project takes place in Ivry-sur-Seine, a suburban city, on an old water’s factory. This large industrial site (90000m²), no longer used, is waiting for a new urban project to come. AxonometricThe Emergency shelter is made for 400 people (350 refugees and 50 Roma community). Families, sometimes with children, and isolated women are hosted for 6 months maximum. This humanitarian program is almost an unprecedented situation in France wich leads to think about the current world’s state and appears to be a really challenging mission for the architects.     © David BoureauThe six yurts, as multipurpose rooms, are placed in the Shelter’s heart. The vast free space separating them offers several places as a support to this small society of buildings. These places allows people to interract: children play games and people spend time together. The rooms are displayed on both sides of this central space, three streets are for isolated women and couples and three others for families. © David BoureauTO THINK TEMPORARY ARCHITECTUREStarted on November 2, 2016, the construction was completed on March 7, 2017: 4 months and 1 week. The center needed to be built very quickly wich leads us to choose a prefabrication system. To reduce the time of the operation we worked on two constructions site at the same time: the infrastructures were made on site and the prefabricated wood modules in a factory near Nancy. © David BoureauThese modules presented also another opportunity: they are reusable. This makes sense in terms of resilient architecture. We could imagine a second life for them, in a logic of circular economy for instance, or be reused by the same owner on another site. This is especially significant because the emergency shelter is planned to stay on this site for 5 years. © David BoureauThis project consists in a complete remodel and an extension of a school who wasn’t able to host all the children anymore and to offer a better work environment The geometry of this project is due to an adaptation between a site constrained by urban rules and a narrow parcel We made it twist around the existing school and the surrounding buildings in order to fit it in the right place the first challenge is function: building for children on their scale and offering an appropriate educational space Designed on the right scale and thought as part of a whole the school is in interaction with surrounding buildings crumbling embankments and billowing chimney smoke  Here lies the city’s cache of  objets d’art a stunning example of late nineteenth-century industrial architecture was originally constructed as a water treatment facility for the city of Paris Becoming obsolete after the construction of a nearby modern water plant in 1993 the former Usine d’Ivry has now been retrofitted to service the city’s cultural infrastructure    The building houses two distinct but closely related operations: the Fonds Municipaux d’Art Contemporain (FMAC) which manages the city’s collection of over 17,000 works of contemporary art which undertakes art restoration work and produces scenography for new exhibitions rolled open the metal warehouse door and ushered us into building he reiterated the only restriction on our all-access tour: we were forbidden to take photos of the artwork we stepped into a lofty interior illuminated from above by large skylights    Before us stretched a motley crew of stone figures The space next door was used to restore large history paintings the oversized type commissioned by the kings and queens of France as a didactic tool to visually represent the strength of the monarchy We had to blur out the next two photos due to the artwork but you get an idea how surreal it is to be led into a space packed with sculptures dating back to the 12th and 13th centuries Many of these were rescued from churches throughout France: The grids which hang the large history paintings for reframing: The enormous windows at the entrance of the water facility: Just inside the entrance is a wooden scaffolding structure to store additional paintings: Eric then led us downstairs into the depths of the water facility through a long infinite hallway The rooms off the hallway were packed with the interior parts of lost and renovated churches–pews There was even one section of the basement that Eric admitted he had never been before this area consisted of curious walled-off archways old water filtration signs (EAU FILTRÉE) and a lot of rusting metal Next we went to see the Atelier building which was built much later and attached to the water plant creating an interesting physical and chronological juxtaposition: with automated cutting tools and saw horses is utilized for large-scale scenography construction: A smaller room is used for the maintenance of museum furniture and other office décor: The art restoration facilities are located upstairs An incredible filing system filled the main room Each moving wall contained paintings awaiting restoration The paintings were mostly reserved for office décor and not part of the public museum collection I spotted Delacroix in the alphabetical listings and and turns out this Delacroix had been stolen and found with a large gash in the middle of the painting From the upstairs window, we were also shown the highly contentious Richard Serra piece, “Clara-Clara,” which has been in storage in the backyard of this facility after its removal from the Tuileries Gardens. It’s a fascinating paradox, for on one hand, Parisians are perfectly content with throwing electro parties in the Grand Palais but a Richard Serra sculpture is seen as “spoiling one of the most famous places in Paris” and an “infraction to the law on historical monuments.” (written in La Tribune de l’Art)  I think the greater tragedy is that it is now anonymously sitting in a pile in the back lot of a little-known industrial facility we were filled with questions and reflections Could this facility be transformed into a public resource for one of the poorest neighborhoods in Paris Would an official site ruin the ad-hoc nature of the place–sculptures in the parking lot corrugated metal sheds protecting priceless marble columns The site is in an area vulnerable to the periodic mass flooding of the Seine–what would happen to the art here But one thing we knew for sure: we had seen a side of Paris unknown to even most Parisians Michelle is the founder of Untapped New York and the

spacious headquarters the building sits sandwiched between high-rises and a football pitch that offers a dynamic backdrop (and boisterous soundtrack) ‘We’re like a small island,’ says Lehanneur which serves as a plinth for piles of sketches Lehanneur wanted somewhere that would foster the firm’s new way of working; after a fruitful career spent collaborating with blue chip companies and high-end galleries Lehanneur had decided it was time to break course Although he loved the challenges associated with client work the clash of priorities between stakeholders often left him dissatisfied.  His studio would take on fewer new commissions instead developing and producing everything themselves ‘When you work with a brand or gallery who will eventually live with the object,’ he says ‘And I need that connection because I learn so much from it.’ Just outside Lehanneur’s new office door sits a dedicated gallery space which hosts several of his recent furniture projects while down a short set of stairs is a material library and workspace he can work with clients to customise commissions or simply just bounce around new ideas with the team.  they are playing with a new lighting system which

sketches: a champagne-coloured stainless steel sceptre with an upper portion formed of streamlined and lower half polished and moulded to resemble rippling water an element Lehanneur says was inspired by the Seine which will play an essential role in the opening ceremony The only additions were a small vertical slit allowing the flame to burn horizontally in high winds as well as a circular air

Archive HOUSING PARIS (AP) — President Emmanuel Macron on Monday unveiled plans to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and meet the country’s climate-related commitments within the next seven years including via reducing dependency on fossil fuels and boosting electric car use Macron said France’s goal to reduce its emissions by 55 percent by 2030 compared to 1990 levels is “attainable,” after holding a special government meeting the country must go more than twice as fast as before “We need to succeed in reducing emissions by 5 percent per year over the period 2022-2030” — to compare with a 2 percent reduction per year over the past five years “This whole strategy will enable us to reduce our dependence on fossil fuels oil and gas… from 60 percent to 40 percent by 2030,” he added Macron confirmed that the country’s two remaining coal-burning plants would cease operating and be converted to biomass energy The coal plants currently represent less than 1 percent of France’s electricity production READ MORE: UN chief warns ‘gates of hell’ are at hand in climate summit, but carbon polluting nations remain silent The two plants were initially set to close by last year but the energy crisis prompted by the war in Ukraine and the shutdown of French nuclear reactors for various problems led the government to delay the decision France relies on nuclear energy for over 60 percent of its electricity — more than any other country is to boost electric vehicle use by producing cars and batteries at home and I do,” the president said Sunday evening on national television acknowledging the public reluctance to switch to electric vehicles with higher purchase prices than combustion-engine cars Macron said Monday that the government would unveil a state-sponsored system in November to allow households with modest incomes to lease European-made electric cars for about 100 euros ($106) per month That will start with a few dozens of thousands of cars next year France will have produced at least 1 million electric vehicles and opened four battery plants in the north of the country 13 projects of commuter trains around several big cities will receive a 700 million

50 most climate-damaging industrial sites will formally sign by November a roadmap to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions by 45 percent by 2030 The 50 sites account for about 10 percent of France’s total greenhouse gas emissions Macron also announced that France will “regain control” over electricity prices by the end of the year The move comes as the European Union is currently working on a thorough reform of its electricity market to shield citizens from sudden price spikes speed up the use of renewable energy sources and make the bloc more independent A French presidency official said France would not wait for EU changes to implement a new mechanism that will align electricity prices in France on their actual production cost in the country which is relatively low compared to some other EU countries as it relies mostly on nuclear energy and not on gas and coal The official spoke anonymously in line with the Elysee’s customary practices PHOTOS: Tens of thousands of

in France to create her own firm By Isabelle Regnier Renée Gailhoustet at her home outside of Paris in October 2019 RAPHAËL CHIPAULT The pleasure of living in a space was Renée Gailhoustet's greatest priority who was among the first women in France to create her own firm regarded that principle as a promise of emancipation and self-invention a field of experimentation that would guide her throughout her career As attached to raw concrete as she was to nature she always lived in the buildings she built reconfiguring her apartments according to the changes in her family and personal life She moved in as soon as it was completed in the revolutionary month of May 1968 a 140-unit social housing complex she had just finished Its tiered design included many paths and perspectives encouraging inclusion as much as encounters Its luminous duplexes with angular spaces opened onto large terraces and planted patios She was 93 years old and had just received the prestigious medal of the Royal Academy of Arts in London as well as an honorary award from the jury of the French Grand National Prize of Architecture These were welcome rewards after a long period of invisibility and certainly had something to do with the revisiting of art and architecture history led by the #MeToo movement for the recent resurgence of interest in her work such as Covid-19 and the failures it revealed in the production of contemporary housing (continued reduction of surface areas low-quality construction and lack of outdoor spaces) the Maladrerie is a vast complex of 900 social housing units built in Aubervilliers (in the northern urban outskirts of Paris) on a 9-hectare plot of land that has been entirely pedestrianized The pandemic-induced lockdown was experienced better there than in the condensed Haussmannian-style residences in the heart of the capital because the apartments are duplexes or triplexes and because they all incorporate either a garden or vast planted terraces that boast trees and plants of sometimes spectacular dimensions when the tenants have green fingers the Maladrerie and so many of Gailhoustet's projects today suffer from having been too little and too poorly maintained for too long The residents are worried about the procedures that the rehabilitation plan currently being developed by the National Agency for Urban Renewal (ANRU) will adopt They are organizing themselves to protect the spirit of the buildings architecture provoked emotion: The day after Gailhoustet's death Renée Gailhoustet was born on September 15 the daughter of the assistant director of the newspaper L'Echo d'Oran first philosophy at the Sorbonne in the early 1950s she then devoted most of her time to activism with the Young Communists as a way to give substance to her political ideals She dedicated her thesis to collective housing It was there that she met her partner Jean Renaudie (1925-1981) Gailhoustet joined the office of Roland Dubrulle (1907-1983) the architect responsible for the renovation of downtown Ivry She worked on the master plan for this southeastern Paris suburb Strongly influenced by the ideas of Le Corbusier her Raspail tower was a semi-duplex housing complex Eventually designated as a "remarkable heritage of the 20th century," it broke with the compartmentalization that prevailed in collective housing in France as well as the layout of rooms in a row along useless corridors she obtained spacious and luminous dwellings Gailhoustet was appointed chief architect for the renovation of downtown Ivry She decided to collaborate with Jean Renaudie on the task the two architects sought solutions capable of combining "as many activities as possible" and of making "inhabitants with countless habits as architect Patrick Bouchain wrote in a 2009 tribute promenades and passageways that they conceived and the design of dwellings echoed the many ideals of the May ’68 protest movement They were the antithesis of the then-dominant principles of zoning and standardization Renaudie – whose name in Ivry as elsewhere has had a tendency to overshadow that of his former companion – created the Jeanne Hachette district which extends in star forms at the exit of the métro Gailhoustet did create a few more towers – Lenin (1970) Casanova (1973) and Jeanne Hachette (1975) But she evolved toward macrostructures in terraces organized according to a combinatorial system: Spinoza (1973) She completed other complexes in the Paris region she designed a housing complex and undertook an urban study in 1989 Their architecture no longer appealed to corporations The constructive principles were simple though Eloge du logement ("In Praise of Housing," 1993) and Des racines pour la ville ("Roots for the City," 1998) The latter opens with a poem in prose that expresses the harshness of the times and the faith in the power of architecture in spite of everything: "Architecture which had once dared to confront

the city of 300 factories and was until the 1970s a melting pot of tensions It was hegemonized and ruled by Maurice Thorez's Communist Party in a two-storey building with green windows The group was called Charité de Jesus It was made up of lay people without any institutional ties whose mission was to go to the street which was inhabited by the working class and Marxism She had chosen “to give herself voluntarily to God as a human creature can belong to the one she loves” Her allies against poverty were the Communists In her confrontation with Marxism she led a close struggle in the name of Christianity and God but rather collaboratively and with friendship “Jesus told us to love all our brothers and sisters But he did not tell us ‘except the Communists’” When you happen to be next in

tombstone Madeleine was from a bourgeois family and openly atheist She wrote angry nihilistic poems “God is dead That is what she called it; a “violent conversion” It is God who found her and never abandoned her again The rest of her life flows with the naturalness with which a river finds its bed and continues to flow calmly or impetuously according to the moments and places Madeleine was officially a social worker for the Red Communist commune yet in reality she was much more than that She and her sisters were dedicated to alleviating suffering and inequality and for them Ivry became a laboratory in the fight against poverty and exclusion While working to alleviate the suffering of the lowliest Madeleine's output and the subjects she covered and on numerous occasions she found herself disagreeing with the official positions of the Church Land Of Mission] was published she gave a copy to the deputy mayor of Ivry with whom she was a loyal collaborator To understand how Madeleine fought and on what frontier she stood it is worth reading the dedication she wrote to the deputy mayor of Ivry respectful of his goodness and concrete generosity certain that even if he does not approve of it has expressed the principal reason for the deep disagreement that exists on the social question with the Christian which you are the friend wants to tell you now that you are correct and assure her that I will understand you With your undeniable talent you have created a fine mess; but You've been given the strength to speak to everyone by God Consciously faithful to my communist party and its politics I am part of the local frameworks of the Marxist network Each of us will continue to proclaim our certainty but the professor will not forget the qualities of heart and the delicacy of his bad Marxist student” One can stand on a frontline and not hate one’s enemy but rather esteem him or her and be esteemed One can fight together against a common enemy This is what Madaleine teaches us from her frontier life As a supporter of the broader involvement of the laity in the Church she died suddenly at her desk  on February 13 a layman had taken the floor during the Second Vatican Council which had been organized by the municipality thousands arrived with red flags to bid her a final farewell It was hegemonized and ruled by Maurice Thorez\'s Communist Party

the French capital is the subject of a new city guide published by Blue Crow Media in collaboration with Robin Wilson (Bartlett School of Architecture The guide features over forty leading examples of Brutalist architecture from celebrated buildings such as Maison du Brésil the Communist Party Headquarters and UNESCO Headquarters by world-renowned architects such as Le Corbusier and Marcel Breuer to the masterfully designed buildings at Ivry-sur-Seine Reconstruction du Centre Ville and 'Les Damiers' apartments by equally influential French architects Jean Renaudie Many lesser known buildings such as Marius Depont's concrete Church of Saint André and Pierre Vivien's UFO-like Telecommunications Building are also featured the guide includes an introduction by Robin Wilson and photography by Nigel Green Details for each building include the location and the architects or practice responsible co-founder of Photolanguage and lecturer at the Bartlett School of Architecture said: 'This map not only guides the reader to discover many of Paris's boldest and exciting post-war buildings it also provides a different way to experience Paris as a city to explore areas not usually on the tourist itinerary and to encounter some genuinely radical urban environments' as defined by critic Reyner Banham in 1955 aligns itself with the material honesty of the earlier work of Le Corbusier and August Perret and incorporates within it both the French term le béton brut (raw concrete) and the expressionistic tendencies of art brut Many of the Parisian Brutalists experimented with the structural and aesthetic properties of concrete as the affordable construction material available in the period of post war reconstruction often using unusual combinations of building materials and producing a remarkable range of architectural forms and spaces This style provoked strong reactions with heated arguments over the decades about whether these buildings were concrete eyesores or design icons In recent years the tide of public opinion seems to be moving in their favour The Brutalist Paris Map is designed to affirm the value of these buildings and to inspire further consideration of Brutalist architecture today Priced at £8 (€9, $10 USD) plus shipping, it is available to purchase through Blue Crow's website and at independent bookshops across Europe Archive

Nick Cave Ellis’s close friend and the curator of that year’s Meltdown was still trying to take in what he had just witnessed when he noticed a familiar figure “crawling up on to the stage looking possessed and heading for the Steinway” Cave recalls that moment in his short introduction to Warren Ellis’s first book which will be published by Faber next month Ellis tracks the unlikely journey of that small piece of gum since he folded it in the towel and carried it backstage at the Royal Festival Hall That journey becomes a metaphor for his creativity – the blossoming of a small idea into something bigger and bolder – but also a journey inside the impulsive “I wanted the narrative to be in free flight all the time,” he says I am speaking to Warren Ellis via video call to his home in Ivry-sur-Seine in the suburbs of Paris He is sitting in the sun outside his studio at the bottom of the garden looking even more biblically hirsute than usual given to long tangential riffs on all manner of subjects that interest him from the celestial music of Alice Coltrane to the similarity between making music and meditation our conversation is interrupted by drifting snatches of laughter and loud music Ellis playing with Dirty Three in 2012 Photograph: Andy Sheppard/Getty ImagesThe pair met in 1993 and have been through a lot together since including coming off heroin at around the same time – “I don’t talk about it,” says Ellis “because it’s the least interesting aspect of anything about my life.” Ellis was initially invited to play on a recording session by Cave an instrumental group who came together in 1991 and are still going strong “When I started playing with Jim [White] and Mick [Turner],” says Ellis “it was the first time I found what I had heard in other music – just the liberation of feeling like you’ve scaled the top of a mountain one moment and you’re lying face down on the floor the next.” At first Ellis found it hard to find a place for his violin in the Bad Seeds’ established lineup – “There really wasn’t a lot of room.” He turned up to his first recording session “wearing a purple jumbo-cord bomber jacket and a pair of shorts that my girlfriend had made for me out of old flour bags.” What you’re dressed very sartorially.’ When I got home I looked up ‘sartorial’ in the dictionary and realised he was being ironic.” Ellis has become a soundtrack composer much in demand The pair have created hauntingly atmospheric scores for a dozen movies The Assassination of Jesse James By the Coward Robert Ford (2007) Ellis also composed the music for Django (2017) about young female train-hoppers in America “It’s an incredible privilege to work with Warren,” Cave tells me when I get in touch to ask him about their relationship he wants the best for me and I want the best for him We have basically developed a way of working where we both relinquish control of the music we make together We spend many hours improvising music together sitting and playing in good faith without the politics and power grabs of many partnerships The pair have recently finished a soundtrack for Blonde their friend Andrew Dominik’s much anticipated film about Marilyn Monroe who filmed One More Time With Feeling in 2016 about the making of Cave’s album Skeleton Tree is currently in London finishing a new a film based around Cave and Ellis performing songs from Carnage and Ghosteen “Just conversationally the way he can go off on these incredible verbal flights is quite something but he’s not really telling you anything about himself That’s why the book was such an interesting read for me – on one level but it’s also a deep insight into his inner life told through the obsession he has with the chewing gum.” Warren Ellis with his wife Delphine and Nick Cave with his wife Susie Bick in 2017 Photograph: Jo Davidson/ShutterstockIn the book Ellis recalls taking the gum home and not quite knowing what to do with it “I didn’t show it to anyone or mention it.. to be honest.” That turned out not to be the case It has been exhibited behind reinforced glass in a display case as part of Stranger Than Kindness an exhibition in Copenhagen earlier this year It has also been cast in silver by Hannah Upritchard and a small number of ingots in the shape of the gum were presented to close friends of Ellis’s the Belgian fashion designer Ann Demeulemeester produced an intricately carved silver ring in its image and her sculpture of the gum will be exhibited in Waterstones It will be roughly the size of a clenched fist “All I have seen the gum do is bring out love and care in the people who have come in contact with it,” Ellis tells me “And that love and care has carried the most humble thing imaginable and elevated it to the status of a holy relic.” Of course the element of the absurd in all this is not lost on him that it has become something almost sacred and spiritual It shows that you can take a leap of faith inspired by the most ridiculous thing in your head.” The story of the gum says a lot about Ellis’s way of looking at the world “There are aspects of my behaviour that I assumed I shared with everyone else – the superstitions the impulses and maybe the obsessions – but then I realised there is something a bit crazy about what I do everyone I talked to about the idea got it pretty quickly They all immediately knew what I was on about I think most people have stuff they keep that means so much to them and absolutely nothing to anyone else Nina Simone’s gum cast in silver by London jeweller Hannah Upritchard Photograph: Hannah UpritchardThe book features photographs mainly of the gum’s various transformations but is also punctuated by musings on subjects close to his heart as well as the role of risk and serendipity in his creative life that was definitely not my original intention,” he says “but weirdly it turned into a kind of fractured memoir I think a book can pull your story out of you I also found a way of reconnecting with people who meant a lot to me and trying to close a few narratives that had remained open-ended and unfinished somehow.” lead singer of Australian band the Triffids – “a quiet beautiful and incredibly literary soul” – and Mick Geyer a friend who shared his considerable musical knowledge with the young Ellis before introducing him to Nick Cave Ellis also reconnected with older brother Stephen the two having drifted apart over the years we had had maybe 10 conversations since I left home,” he says but something exploded in the house when we were teenagers because I was always looking for an older brother.” His first instrument was a Hofner piano accordion which he found as a child while playing on a local rubbish dump – “I stepped on it and heard it wheeze.” Soon after a would-be country and western singer who had recorded one self-written single he learned to play traditional bluegrass tunes on a $20 fiddle It was his mastery of Orange Blossom Special learned from a tape of The Johnny Cash Show that won him a music scholarship to attend a local private school “I never particularly liked the violin,” he writes “It seemed to have attached itself to me.” a guy who basically plays the violin rather badly but has somehow managed to inspire a lot of out-of-tune violin players along the way.” Is he being serious about not being able to play it properly “I always think of that observation someone made about Billie Holiday but it was what she did with those 12 notes that mattered Ellis talks with wonder about the making of Ghosteen, the celestial-sounding record he and Cave created together in Malibu in 2018. Made after the death of Cave’s 15-year-old son it is infused with an almost otherworldly spirituality that has no precedent in recent rock music Watch a lyric video for Carnage by Nick Cave and Warren Ellis.“Ghosteen threw me for a while,” he says “It felt like there was something – or someone – else directing it I’ve never put much stock in things like that it just felt like the record I had always wanted to make how can we ever crawl out from underneath that Ellis is currently absorbed in a new project that has nothing to do with music He recently announced the opening of Ellis Park a wildlife sanctuary in Sumatra for bears and monkeys that cannot be released into the wild owing to the injuries they have suffered from abuse by humans Working with animal rescue activists there he bought the land for the park and donated it to Jakarta Animal Aid Network “I bumped into a woman called Larinda Jane who used to book Dirty Three way back in Melbourne and I was really impressed by her activism She came up with the idea to make a beard oil with my face on it and all the money from that went to the orangutans He falls momentarily silent for the first time I want to build this big stone replica of the gum and place it in the middle of a water feature so that the bears and monkeys can play on it.” He leans back on his chair “That seems like as good way as any to end the narrative.” This is the archive of The Observer up until 21/04/2025 The Observer is now owned and operated by Tortoise Media Paris is famed for many things; its patisserie the

then with Haussmann’s wide boulevards and elaborate balconies to admire at will who spends their time searching for great graphic blocks of rugged concrete and angular forms Except that Paris’ Brutalist buildings are as is the case of Brutalism the world over an important and uniquely charming part of the French city’s storied history Robin Wilson and Nigel Green have this week launched a Brutalist Paris Map a plotted guide to such structures all around the City of Lights These buildings have an important role to play in the trajectory of architecture they explain: “Post-war Brutalist architecture as the most affordable construction material available in the period of post war reconstruction often using unusual combinations of building materials and producing a remarkable range of architectural forms and spaces.” The map locates more than 40 examples of Brutalist architecture in Paris: including works by architects from Le Corbusier and Oscar Niemeyer to Marcel Breuer the Communist Party Headquarters and UNESCO Headquarters While the decades since these buildings were first erected have seen impassioned debate about whether they are better classified as icons or eyesores a new school of thinking seems to be leaning towards the former celebrating the diverse signatures of Brutalism on their own merit to the city’s otherwise achingly lovely skylines Brutalist Paris Map in collaboration with Robin Wilson and Nigel Green of Photolanguage IVRY-SUR-SEINE: For decades a hulking housing estate on the edge of Paris was a red-brick symbol of Communist Russia’s promise to workers of the world but on Saturday residents and local officials will gather to say goodbye to a building that has been left behind in a rapidly gentrifying neighbourhood Inaugurated in 1963 in the presence of Russian space pioneer Yuri Gagarin — just two years after he became the first person in space — the “Cite Gagarine” underscored the Communist Party’s appeal in much of postwar France We’d never known such comforts!” said Jacqueline Spiro who with her parents was among the first generation of residents 13-storey building in the suburb of Ivry-sur-Seine may indeed have looked like something from outer space amid the rows of cramped working-class houses in the so-called “red belt” of suburbs surrounding Paris since the 1920s It became a model for the social urbanism projects pursued by the French Communist party which enjoyed huge support for decades after World War II for its role in the Resistance “The Cite Gagarine was the international showcase for the French Communist Party,“ said Emmanuel Bellanger a historian with France’s CNRS research institute the party showed the world what is could do at the local level so that it could eventually do it on the national level,“ Bellanger said sending the national hero Gagarin himself to reward “Ivry the Red” for putting Soviet ideals into practice but it was done in concert with its residents,“ Romain Marchand the deputy mayor of Ivry-sur-Seine and French Communist Party member and would spend time at one another’s homes who gave only her first name and who had lived on the estate some 10 years graffiti and broken or boarded-up windows are what catch the eye as workers start tearing down the building — there won’t be any spectacular demolition explosions The estate’s fortunes began fading in the 1970s as factories shut down in what would prove a deep industrial decline in the Paris region As poverty rates increased so did cases of juvenile delinquency and crime and the Cite Gagarine area became of France’s infamous “sensitive urban zones” requiring more targeted state help to combat joblessness “There was a real problem in terms of attractiveness and turnover rates were high,“ Marchand acknowledged workers will break ground on a so-called “green district” of energy-efficient buildings and parks But locals worry the middle class families being sought as part of a “Greater Paris” plan to merge the capital with its suburbs will be the final blow to the social cohesion embodied by the Cite Gagarine we’re wondering if we’ll have the means to live here,“ said Elizabeth a local resident who also gave only her first name Critics note that the new project won’t be wholly owned by Ivry’s public housing authority “but that won’t stop us from keeping 30% of the new ‘green district’ as social housing,“ Marchand said He said he was well aware of the “real estate forces” bearing down on Ivry which are likely to be a top issue in municipal elections next year “Gentrification has long been considered an electoral threat for the French Communist party,“ said David Gouard a political scientist at the University of Toulouse Communists garnered 55% in Ivry’s last municipals in 2014 the political currents are still in the party’s favour,“ he said Tel: +603-7784 6688      Fax: +603-7785 2625 Archaeologists recently finished exploring the remains of a
