De Meaux / Renzo Piano / 1991 Paris, France This project is an unusual example of an architect who enjoys an international reputation for the application of advanced technology to large institutional buildings, applying this expertise to the design of low cost housing. While the complex is similar to other social housing being constructed in Paris, the application of a prefabricated system of exterior panels made of fiberglass-reinforced concrete and terra cotta cladding is a radical departure from typical habitation bon marche construction. This courtyard group of 220 apartments is an infill project in a district of typically varied blocks in a very dense part of the 19th arrondissement and was designed for Regie Immobilière de la Ville de Paris (RIVP), one the city agencies responsible for the construction of social housing.
