Social Housing Scheme in Paris

 - Daniel Reisch

The 11th arrondissement in Paris is characterized by its narrow street grid with stone fronts to the houses. The present development by the architects Barrault Pressacco stands at the interface between a district that has evolved in the course of history and an area that was replanned by Haussmann in the second half of the 19th century.
