Martin Schulz van Treeck: Les Orgues de Flandre, 1973C–1980

  • Paris, France, Show on map
  • #RES #Western Europe
  • “Les Orgues de Flandre” (also known as the "Cité des Flamants") are a group of residential buildings in the La Villette district of Paris (19th arrondissement). The complex took its name from the old city gate “Porte des Flamands”, around which it was built. A characteristic feature of the buildings is their radical form "leaning" outwards or inwards.

  • In 2010, some of the buildings were completely renovated. Today all buildings are in good condition and in use.
