Paris Brut by Zupagrafika

A collection of illustrated paper cut-out models portraying brutalist architecture of Paris from late 1950s-1970s. The series features buildings scattered around the City of Paris` arrondissements, as well as the infamous “banlieues” built over newly incorporated suburbs which quickly became a playground for the HLM office (Habitation à Loyer Modéré) pioneering “rent-controlled” housing in Paris. The concrete blocks of Cité des 4000, round towers of Les Choux de Créteil, Cité Curial-Michelet – largest estate of Paris, and high-rise Orgues de Flandre towers, were to provide thousands of new homes for the rapidly growing population. The collection is made up of six illustrated models to assemble: Orgues de Flandre, Les Choux de Créteil, Cité Curial-Michelete, Cité des 4000, Centre National de la Danse and Plan Voisin interpretation. ‘Paris Brut’ is available online: http://www.zupagrafika.com/zupamarket_en.html
