La Grande Halle, Parc de la Villette, Paris, France

La Grande Halle, formerly a slaughterhouse and now a cultural centre, designed by Jules de Merindol and Louis-Adolphe Janvier and built 1865-67, on Place de la Fontaine aux Lions, in the Parc de la Villette in the 19th arrondissement of Paris, France. The Parc de la Villette sits on the site of Paris' old slaughterhouse district and was designed 1984-87 by Bernard Tschumi and Colin Fournier as one of Francois Mitterand's Grands Projets. It has since been developed with cultural venues, musical and science establishments built by many contemporary architects. Picture by Manuel Cohen
