The exhibition features eleven urban design projects based on Portzamparc's concept of urban formation, "Block." Portzamparc is destinguished by his technique of applying both psychology and sociology to architecture in the seach to create new orders and possibilities. The works on display are large scale models of urban designs from cities such as Nantes, Metz, Aix-en-Provence, Strasbourg, Marne-la Vallée, Bordeaux, Toulouse, and Montpellier. The exhibition offers a look at an important trend in contemporary urban design.
