 Paris, a guided tour
The city past and present
|
|
|
 The new permanent exhibition at the Pavillon de l’Arsenal “Paris; A Guided Visit” presents contemporary Paris and its architecture on an area of more than 800m2.
The exhibition reviews the evolution of the past in order to gain an understanding of the cityscape of the present and the future.
Visitors are given the opportunity to discover the past so that they may understand the city of today...
The exhibition progresses through twelve sequences which relay the evolution of the cityscape around its enclosures and its borders throughout history to the end of the 20th century. Visitors are invited to turn back time and explore the history of a city which has never ceased to transform itself.
...and the city of tomorrow
More than 300 new architectural creations and projects, 940 hectares of urban intervention programmes currently being carried out as well as the large landscape regeneration efforts in Ile-de-France are exhibited in order to explain the city’s constitution.
Films created specifically for this exhibition, interviews with architects, documentaries, panoramic imagery, and architecture models all centre on a large model of the city and invite visitors to explore the complexity and diversity of the Parisian cityscape of today and tomorrow.
Each visitor will find his or her own guided visit.
For this exhibition, the Pavillon de l’Arsenal has also created a database of contemporary Parisian architecture. The database will be available for consultation at the exhibition as well as on the Pavillon de l’Arsenal website. This database will be kept up to date by the architects and developers themselves using the internet. This will give visitors an opportunity to review the works of one architect or developer, search by type of structure (residential, office, infrastructure etc) or to see recent constructions by arrondissement.
