Les Étoiles d’Ivry, Renée Gailhoustet and Jean Renaudie, 1975
THE HUNGER GAMES: MOCKINGJAY PART II (2015)
This site was the second Parisian housing complex to feature in the film, with Ricardo Bofill's Espaces Abraxas playing a larger role. None of the architects responsible would have envisaged their work as it was cast here: as residences for a facist elite. On the contrary, both projects provided social housing, and sought, in their own way, to redefine what that type of building could be architecturally. Bofill hoped to elevate the lives of residents by transplanting a language of perceived grandeur, monumentality and luxury into the arena of low income residences. And Gailhoustet and Jean Renaudie wanted to break free of the bland monotony of characterless, cookie cutter units which often characterised social housing. Photo (cropped) by Robert Doisneau

Whenever an artist chooses to use metallic paint their future self curses them because it's so hard to photograph

the fact that eco brutalism is supposed to be something that influences the creation of a building and not the result of decades of abandonment in a world absent of humans where nature has reclaimed even the most inherently anti-nature of man-made structures is very sad to me
