The Maladrerie neighborhood in Aubervilliers, Seine-Saint-Denis, is one of the most remarkable achievements in late 1970s urban architecture, designed by Ren\u00e9e Gailhoustet. Moving away from the tired model of high-rise blocks and towers, her architectural experiment in Aubervilliers aimed to change the status of social housing within the urban fabric.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With its futuristic architecture combining concrete, glass, green terraces, and angular shapes, it leaves plenty of room for pedestrian traffic and vegetation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In 2017, artist Julie Balagu\u00e9 moved there. She went out to meet the residents, passersby, and local associations. Her work combines photographs of the architectural complex with portraits of the residents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Short poetic texts by novelist Fanny Taillandier, inspired by the testimonies collected by the photographer, accompany the series of images. At the end of the book is a booklet containing two more contextual and theoretical texts by architect Katherine Fiumani and photography historian Rapha\u00eble Bertho.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":13,"featured_media":24007,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"nature":[1281],"statutdeslivres":[],"class_list":["post-24005","livre","type-livre","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","nature-photographie-en"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
