Modern Paris Map (1900-70)
From January 2022 Photolanguage began researching for a Modern Map of Paris, our second map of Paris for Blue Crow Media (published Autumn 2023). The map charts a selection of early examples, from the emergence of a proto-Modernism in the 1910s (the typology of concrete frame, artisanal workshops and works by Auguste Perret and Paul Gaudet); to the height of avant-garde experimentation in the 1920s and 30s; the post-war era of reconstruction and infrastructural development; through to examples of the late modernism of the 1960s.
