Paris: Architektour

Paris is a built memory and, at the same time, a testing ground for the present. Hardly any other metropolis combines tradition and innovation as naturally as the French capital. The book paints a portrait of a dynamic and reflective architectural scene. Established firms such as Moussafir Architectes and Régis Roudil represent a generation that is rethinking urban space. Large-format photographs, precise plans and well-researched texts invite readers on an architectural stroll through Paris and present a variety of outstanding contemporary buildings. These reflect key issues of our time: urban density, ecological responsibility and social diversity. A multi-layered picture of a city in transition – between cultural heritage and a visionary future.
