Filmvortrag von Frédéric Biamonti veranstaltet vom Institut für Kunst und Architektur.
“Destiny of les Halles” is a film about the most central district of Paris, formerly the site of the Central Market. It was destroyed in the early 70’s, and painfully remodeled during the following decades. It is now considered widely as a complete failure, and a new architectural consultation was launched in 2004. The results show the same mix of political hesitations and architectural mediocrity which resulted in the current state of things.
