Maxime Enrico/Paris: Paris Haussmann, a model’s relevance

11. Dezember 2018, 15 Uhr, Campus Westend Eisenhower-Saale

Maxime Enrico, lead architect at LAN Architecture in Paris, will give a lecture on Paris Haussmann, a model's relevance, describing the emergence of a new urban arborescence based on the analysis of contemporary criteria. 

Haussmann, prefect for the department of the Seine from 1853 until 1870, extensively transformed Paris, above and below ground, from the city center to the outskirts. By extension, his name personifies a century of public works that still defines the urban organization of the city and the identity of the capital. But who would think of the Second Empire mapping as an exemplary network for mobility? Or the 19th century city block as an effective tool for a sustainable city? Or the Haussmann-style building as an archetype of flexibility? This conference analyzes and reveals the potential of today’s Parisian urban model in relation to the stakes and challenges of tomorrow’s cities.

Maxime Enrico has ten years of professional experience working for international architectural firms. At LAN, he is responsible for the competition pole and manages all the projects in predesign phase. For two years, he has led the scientific researches for the exhibition Paris Haussmann, a Model’s Relevance."
