Bound, 172 pages, ENG. / FR. edition; white boards with dustjacket, 290 x 240 x 20 mm, in very good condition ! ISBN 9782871432302. The stunning H tel d' vreux - built on place vend me under Louis XIV - and the H tel Desvieux and the H tel Castanier - erected on rue des Capucines during his successor's reign - became home, in 18…54, to the newly-founded Cr dit Foncier de France headquarters, set up to finance Baron Haussmann's ambitious construction projects during the Second Empire. Renovated in the 19th century, and extended into two office buildings in rue Cambon in the 20th century, this exceptional heritage site - sold to a private fund in 2003 - has been restored to its former glory after seven years of planning and works. Indeed, general contractors Vinci Immobilier, ADIM, Anthony B chu - Heritage Architect - and Alain-Charles Perrot - Chief Architect of Historical Monuments - laid out a vision for restoring the site, which was brought about by over five hundred colleagues and construction workers from seventy six companies, led by Vinci Construction. This book pays tribute to them by laying bare the many facets of this enterprising project which, in all its human and technical dimensions, seeks to support the Parisian ambition to remain the international capital of the arts. 1220 g.
