Parc de La Villette: Bernard Tschumi

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapterpeer-review

Abstract

Across time and discipline, the Parc de la Villette - the competition for its design, the winning project by Bernard Tschumi, and the built work - has sponsored a vast amount of discourse and debate within architecture, landscape architecture, and urbanism. Since 1976, when the first ideas competition was held, to the present, its impact and import have seemed wildly diverse depending upon the lens through which it is viewed: the socialist agenda of President François Mitterrand's Grands Projets; the deconstructivist ambitions of architecture at the time; or through its contribution to ongoing discussions about the history, theory, and practice of making urban parks.
