Prof. of Landscape Architecture, [email protected], 1 505 379-0772 (for use in Paris) This course focuses on the interplay of landscape and urban design in the Renaissance, Baroque, Modern and, now, Globalization eras, and on how that history informs contemporary design and planning. The course commences in April and May at UNM with four class meetings, including orientation, health and safety sessions, overview lectures and reading discussion seminars. During the two plus weeks in and around Paris, we visit the landscapes, gardens, and urban ensembles that have been pivotal in the development of one of the world’s premier design cultures. Historic environments predominate during the first week, with contemporary projects scheduled primarily in the second week. Faculty field talks, discussions and time for student observation and sketching intermix with field tours led by French scholars and designers, and visits to design firms and design exhibitions. Learning Objectives: Develop a broad understanding of the social factors, theories and design techniques shaping historic and contemporary French landscape and urban design. Learn methods to record, analyze and synthesize your understanding of built spaces through visual and written notes, diagrams and photography.

  • Sharing Paris: the Use and Ownership of a Neighborhood, Its Streets and Public Spaces, 1950-2012
    Sharing Paris: The Use and Ownership of a Neighborhood, Its Streets and Public Spaces, 1950-2012 By Alexander Michael Toledano A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Tyler Stovall, Chair Professor David Henkin Professor Stanley Brandes Fall 2012 Abstract Sharing Paris: The Use and Ownership of a Neighborhood, Its Streets and Public Spaces, 1950-2012 by Alexander Michael Toledano Doctor of Philosophy in History University of California, Berkeley Professor Tyler Stovall, Chair This dissertation examines a lively lower-middle-class, immigrant neighborhood in the 10th arrondissement of Paris, the Faubourg Saint-Denis, from 1950 into the twenty-first century, and explores the history of everyday life in its streets and public spaces. It connects the neighborhood’s evolution to larger changes in urban redevelopment policies and municipal politics in Paris. This study challenges a core assumption held by scholars about urban neighborhoods: that everyday life and communities are shaped primarily by residents. Residents have historically been the focus of neighborhood scholarship because they are easily accessible to scholars in most archival sources and because they have been viewed as the stabilizing force that keeps chaotic cities civilized. Since the 1950s and even during the nineteenth-century, however, non-residents have been found at the core of local communities in Paris, especially in its busiest neighborhoods. These parts of the city, often centered around marketplaces and market streets, such as Les Halles, have remained vibrant due to the important role played by non-residents, many of whom have commuted long distances to them every day not only to work, but also to shop, and to socialize.

  • Metropolis on the Water: Varieties of Development Logics Along the Seine
    Projections • 14. New Uses for Old Rivers: Rediscovering Urban Waterways Metropolis on the water: Varieties of development logics along the Seine Yonah Freemark1 1PhD Candidate, Department of Urban Studies and Planning, MIT Published on: Dec 20, 2019 Projections • 14. New Uses for Old Rivers: Rediscovering Urban Waterways Metropolis on the water: Varieties of development logics along the Seine ABSTRACT Scholars writing about the influence of the “neoliberal turn” suggest that, in response to global competition and a declining welfare state, cities have committed to using urban development projects for the purpose of investment attraction through spatially isolated interventions, particularly on key sites such as riverfronts. But is that really the case, or do project programming and design offer opportunities to combat inequality and increase links to the surrounding city? I explore this question through a study of postwar waterside development in Paris, examining planning documents and statements by government representatives. While officials have promoted their city’s global status, I show that they have also increasingly emphasized the provision of affordable housing; meanwhile, they have encouraged new approaches to urban design that prioritize local needs over those of tourists and create new links between existing neighborhoods. This suggests that Paris’ projects reflect a diversity of development logics—that is, goals with respect to certain planning policies—including some conducive to promoting social equity and community cohesion. This finding challenges expectations about project creation as commonly understood through the lens of the neoliberal turn. It suggests that contemporary urbanism is not converging to a uniform, regressive outcome. I identify institutional and political changes—respectively, the devolution of power to the local government in 1977 and the election of left-wing councils beginning in 2001—as the primary explanations for Paris’ history.

DESTROYING THE MYSTIQUE OF PARIS: HOW THE DESTRUCTION OF LES HALLES SERVED AS A SYMBOL FOR GAULLIST POWER AND MODERNIZATION IN 1960s AND 1970s PARIS by SCOTT A. KASTEN Under the Direction of Dr. Denise Davidson ABSTRACT Les Halles, Paris’s historic marketplace, was once called “the belly of Paris” by Emile Zola. Les Halles was a Parisian institution. The destruction of the marketplace in 1971, especially the famed Baltard pavilions, set off a firestorm of debate and public dissent not seen on an urban issue in nearly a century. Within the debate over Les Halles existed a series of gripping juxtapositions or binaries- a battle between the Gaullists and the liberal intellectuals, capitalists and workers, modernity and tradition.

Walking Tour A - This part of the walk Walking Tour B - This section of the extends from the Grand Palais and Petit walk runs between the Tour Palais, built for the 1900 Universal Montparnasse and the Bibliothèque Exposition, to the Palais de Tokyo and Nationale-François Mitterrand.

Aesthetically complex, theoretically sophisticated, and mindful of their social role within the city, these parks were developed by architects and landscape architects selected through high- profile design competitions and were grafted into sectors of the city undergoing renovation and renewal.
