A closer look

Architecture in context

Noisy-le-Grand hosts two of the boldest Postmodernist housing experiments in France. Ricardo Bofill's Les Espaces d'Abraxas (1983) — three monumental buildings forming a neoclassical theatre of housing — and Manuel Nunez Yanowsky's Arènes de Picasso (1985), whose disc-shaped buildings frame a circular plaza, together make this Parisian suburb an open-air museum of radical social housing.
