Project Unité in Firminy. Art in the Urban and Architectural Device

Abstract

“Project Unité” is an exhibition held in the summer of 1993 in the south of France in one of the most representative buildings of the last period of Le Corbusier, the housing complex of Firminy-Vert. It is the first attempt to bring together artists of different generations, backgrounds and education, united by the inclination towards participatory art practices of social interest.
