mashup

Architects have always questioned what the cities of the future will look like.50 years after the adoption of the new cities program, the Pavillon de l’Arsenal recounts the history of Cergy-Pontoise, emblematic of this unique urban and human adventure.How can we build a landscape city in the 20th century?The first neighborhoods appeared just when our current lifestyles emerged, in the market gardens around the loop of the river Oise. In order to make the area more functional and enjoyable for those who live and work there, and for all the future potential visitors, with particular attention to the creation of spaces for cultural and artistic events.Because it is a “new” city, Cergy-Pontoise has, from the very beginning, an experimental ambition.The exhibition prompts us to ask how architects will respond to changes in contemporary notions of the city and its relationship to various scales.
