Tschumi Parc de la Villette is the first publication to document
comprehensively Bernard Tschumi's first, and arguably still most
celebrated project. With new and republished writing including a
text by Bernard Tschumi and Anthony Vidler's Trick-Track originally
published in 1986, alongside a newly-commissioned essay assesing
the Parc from a contemporary and historical perspective, this book
documents Parc de la Villette from its conception, through the 30
years of its existence, to the present.
Tschumi Parc de la Villette includes drawings, concept sketches,
models and photographs showing the development of the Parc over
three decades, brought together in a single volume for the first
time since the 1980s.
One of the Grands Projets commissioned by the French Government in
the 1980s, Parc de la Villette set a benchmark for urban parks in
the latter part of the twentieth century and into the twenty-first.
Tschumi constructed a series of follies across the site, creating
what he called the largest discontinuous building in the world.
Published to coincide with the 30th anniversary of the Parc,
Tschumi Parc de la Villette broadly celebrates the project, and
articularly the way in which it has been embraced by generations of
Parisians and a diverse international public.
