However, the complexity of the urban transformations and the changes in the Parisian architectural panorama did not erase the solid identity of the city's urban image. This book guides the reader through decades of Parisian architectural history beginning with the great names of the Modernist movement, Loos, Le Corbusier and Oscar Niemeyer. The second half of the 20th century is famous for the cultural vitality of the city reflected in the innovative architecture of the Centre George Pompidou designed by Piano and Rogers. The Pompidou Centre is both the symbol and result of the 1968 student revolution. The 1980s and 90s were defined by the forceful initiatives of President Fran輟is Mitterrand, promoter and advocate of iconic projects like the Louvre Pyramid, the Mus馥 d'Orsay renovation, the Parc de la Villette and the Arab World Institute. The present period is represented with several selected projects that have elevated the quality of certain areas on the outskirts of the urban agglomeration. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Federica Rasenti\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 8855210807\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9788855210805\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Forma Edizioni\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/15\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Federica Rasenti","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44079539618047,"sku":"9788855210805","price":22.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b7341b19-c3a9-4a63-bc08-b7476dd0bb0f.jpg?v=1685481727","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/paris-federica-rasenti-9788855210805","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
