ABSTRACT

Atelier Ozenfant and Maisons La Roche-Jeanneret engage their respective Parisian neighborhood locales in very different ways (Figure 8.4). On the cusp between two dissimilar urban conditions in a fairly jumbled sector, the Atelier Ozenfant assertively and explicitly engages its physical site. By contrast, the relationship of the Maisons La RocheJeanneret to their more uniform surroundings is stealthy, subversive, and opportunistic.
