Brutal Wonders 02 / Raw Concrete & Bold Forms: Paris's Brutalist La Défense Explored

Embark on a visual journey through some of Paris's most striking Brutalist architectural landmarks, located in and around the iconic La Défense business district and along the Seine! This video, inspired by the "Carte Paris Brutaliste" (Brutalist Paris Map), offers an up-close look at these powerful concrete structures. Featured in this exploration: 🏙️ 0:00 - 0:06: Intro highlighting the "Brutal Wonders" theme and the "Brutalist Paris Map." 🌊 0:06 - 0:36: Views from the Pont de Neuilly, showing the Seine River and the La Défense skyline, including the Sport Center (Centre Sportif de l'Île de Puteaux) designed by Albert Grégoire (1975-79). Notice its distinctive geometric patterned facade contrasting with the modern skyscrapers. 🏢 0:37 - 1:59: A detailed look at Vision 80 (J.P. Jouve, A. Frieschlander, C. Manfredos, 1970-73). This residential complex is a classic example of Brutalism, with its massive concrete form, elevated walkways on pilotis (stilts), and raw textured surfaces. We explore its undercroft, connecting bridges, and facade details. 🌉 2:00 - 2:09: Panning shot across the Pont de Neuilly, showcasing more of the La Défense skyline, with the Grande Arche peeking through. 🧱 2:10 - 4:11: The incredible Les Damiers (Michel Folliasson, 1974-76) apartment complex. This terraced, pyramid-like structure is famous for its precast concrete panels featuring a repeating circular relief pattern, creating a unique and highly textured facade. We see it from across the river, from its pedestrian walkways, and get close-ups of its distinctive "checkerboard" (or "draughtboard," hence "Damiers") aesthetic. ✨ Throughout: Enjoy close-up shots of raw concrete (béton brut) textures, impressive structural elements, and the interplay of these monumental buildings with their urban environment.
