Cite de la Musique, Parc de la Villette, Paris, France

The Cite de la Musique, or City of Music, opened in 1995 and renamed Philharmonie 2 in 2015, designed by Christian de Portzamparc, b. 1944, in the Parc de la Villette, 19th arrrondissement, Paris, France. The Cite de la Musique is a complex consisting of an amphitheatre, concert hall seating 800–1000, museum of classical instruments, exhibition halls, workshops and archives. 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
