Légendes

Through a selection of 10 private houses, from the 1970s to the present day, Légendes is building a genealogy of what drives architecture in France today. The narrative of French architecture since the post-war period has focused on major public commission projects, urban, relayed in the press and discussed by critics. We are looking for another story.

The Légendes exhibition is the first restitution of the investigations carried out. It announces the end of documentary work, field research and inaugurates the writing of the eponymous work. It is conceived as the presentation of these 10 projects of particular houses and the day-to-day restitution of the writing of these stories that we make of them. At the end of the exhibition, the collection of these Légendes will be published.
