Description
Summary:This article looks at housing block 16 as an observatory of urban change starting from an analysis focused on the interaction between building transformations & social changes that affect an urban area. The document under study indicates three reasons why this housing block is of experimental interest to urban history: the conditions affecting the way conceptions about this area matured & circulated; the failure to analyse sufficiently the links between projects & their implementation; finally, the comparison of several angles of action, each one associated with a sufficiently powerful worldview to trigger urban development.
