Parc de la villette

Bernard Tschumi designed the Parc de la Villette in Paris between 1984-1998. The park houses cultural venues like a symphony hall, cinema, and science museum. Tschumi's master plan features a grid of "follies", or abstract steel structures, intended to disrupt expectations of a traditional urban park and encourage exploration. The park's design emphasizes movement through space and embodies architectural deconstructivism by lacking historical references and changing in response to visitor use.
