Image title: Les Folies du parc de la Villette, Paris 75019. Architecture by Bernard Tschumi, 1987-1991. This 55-hectare park, divided in two by the Ourcq Canal, is located on the site of the Villette slaughterhouses. The design of the park was entrusted to Bernard Tschumi in 1983. In the foreground, such as playful constructions that dotted the parks and royal gardens of the 18th and 19th centuries, the follies of La Villette come to rhythm the park. Of 26, they are all built on the basis of a cube of 10.80m in size and arranged according to a standard frame of 120m x 120m. However, each of them is unique in form and function. In the background, the Cité des sciences et de l'industrie transformed by Adrien Fainsilber into a museum dedicated to scientific and industrial culture
