About
The village of Plessis-Robinson knows the enthusiasm of the Parisians who, from 1848, come in droves to frequent the taverns and their huts perched in the branches of large chestnut trees. A few years later, the city welcomed many inhabitants living in a garden city with a colony of Russian artists. In the years 1950-1970, the city becomes denser then, from 1980, it begins a profound urban transformation which illustrates a new way of thinking about the city based on diversity and the creation of streets and squares in the European tradition. François Spoerry, founder of lake towns, including Port-Grimaud, and promoter of soft architecture, gives the spirit of this enterprise of urban reconquest unique in France. This book is part of the 'Grand Paris' collection dedicated to Art Nouveau and Art Deco in Paris and in the cities of the Paris region. Le village du Plessis-Robinson connaît l?engouement des Parisiens qui, à partir de 1848, viennent en foule fréquenter les guinguettes et leurs cabanes perchées dans les branches de grands châtaigniers. Quelques années plus tard, la ville accueille de nombreux habitants installés dans une cité-jardin dotée d'une colonie d'artistes russes. Dans les années 1950-1970, la ville se densifie puis, à partir de 1980, elle entame une profonde mutation urbaine qui illustre une nouvelle manière de penser la ville basée sur la mixité et la création de rues et de places dans la tradition européenne. François Spoerry, fondateur de cités lacustres, dont Port-Grimaud, et promoteur de l'architecture douce, donne l'esprit de cette entreprise de reconquête urbaine unique en France. Ce livre s'inscrit dans la collection ' Grand Paris ' dédiée à l'Art Nouveau et à l'Art Déco à Paris et dans les villes de la région parisienne.
