What makes a city beautiful? Is it the city’s site, morphology, buildings, gardens, materials, or surfaces? Its residents, fragilities, hospitality, environments, or measure? How is the urban esthetic defined? Is it based on the projects and constraints of each passing century? And what forms would go with the climate transition? The timing of this exhibition couldn’t be more relevant as the esthetics of the French capital are being questioned by the municipality. With a new manifesto recently released, the government is upgrading urban regulations, and Parisians are now stating their willingness to participate in these discussions. Just after the beginning of the second lockdown (in the fall of 2020), Pavillon de l’Arsenal gathered more than fifty architects, artists, curators, historians, landscape designers, philosophers, sociologists, and urban planners in order to discuss what makes Paris beautiful.
Subject Headings: Eastern and Western European Art ; Western Art -- France -- Surveys of Several Periods -- Architecture -- Urban Planning --
