FEB 28 – MARCH 20, L’Enfance Radieuse
@ Underpass, Sector 17

L’Enfance radieuse is based on a photographic reportage produced in 1961 at the Maison Radieuse in Rezé, a work by Le Corbusier, documenting everyday life within the Unité d’Habitation. Through a focus on children—their play, movements and uses of space—these images reveal a lived modernity, shaped by appropriation, adaptation and everyday practices. Enriched by testimonies from former residents, the exhibition offers a perceptive reading of modern architecture, where archives and narratives intersect to tell the story of an inhabited modernity.

Curated by Margaux Blondel, cultural mediator at ECPAD and exhibition curator & Daniel Coutelier, Deputy Head of the Department of Documentary Enrichment, ECPAD
