An Industrial City by Tony Garnier

This publication is an event as this is the very first time that a faithful facsimile based on a copy of the original publication from 1917 has seen the light of day.

Two contemporary authors, François Chaslin, architect and architectural critic, and Thierry Paquot, philosopher and urban planner, present the project, replacing it in its historical context and questioning its scope and impact a century later.

A publication unique in its genre
An Industrial City is composed of 164 plates: plans of the whole city, of a neighborhood or a detail – sit alongside illustrations of the city in washes and watercolors.

An atypical publication which reproduces all of the documents on the same scale as the original, faithful to the original project as imagined by Tony Garnier, with certain plans extending beyond an A0 format.

Thanks to the format of the edition, the large format documents are printed on a number of unbound sheets so that they can be “reassembled” by the reader.
    All of the documents are also printed at a reduced size in order to give an overall vision of the project.

In accordance with Tony Garnier’s universalist approach, the texts are printed in four languages.
