Brutalist Architecture in Ivry<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

When my wife told me we were en route to Ivry Sur Seine for a visit of local brutalist architecture, I thought she was raving mad. To me, 1970 was another word for ugly.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

On rare occasions, the old and the new are next to one another.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Most of the time, the entire town centre is made of concrete slabs and sharp buildings at weird angles.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Little did I know that I would enjoy taking pictures so much over there. It’s not ugly at all, it’s even very aesthetic. I took hundreds of pictures.\u00a0\"Brutalist<\/p>\n

Most of the buildings are by Jean Renaudie and Ren\u00e9e Gailhoustet<\/a>\u00a0two “brutalist” architects close to the communist party.<\/p>\n

\"Brutalist<\/p>\n

We spent hours going from one building to another.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Ivry is a funny place. One minute it’s about brutalist architecture.<\/p>\n

\"Brutalist<\/p>\n

The next you stumble upon a mini rose garden on a piece of wasteland and poetry is overwhelming.<\/p>\n

\"Brutalist<\/p>\n

A few hundred yards further you feel like you are looking at the leaflet of some modernist architect.<\/p>\n

\"Brutalist<\/p>\n

And a couple of streets further you look at puddles and start dreaming about the past, architecture and the beauty of life. No matter what, Ivry is a very interesting place.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
