Round table discussion – The garden city of La Butte Rouge

Tuesday, February 10, 2026, from 1:00 p.m. to 2:00 p.m. – Jean Duminy Amphitheater –

Despite being awarded the "Remarkable Contemporary Architecture" label, the garden city of La Butte Rouge in Chatenay-Malabry remains under threat today. Built over a period of more than thirty years and comprising around 4,000 social housing units constructed in seven phases, it is a major work with international resonance, both for its urban qualities and for the model of social life it has helped to develop in a harmonious relationship between architecture and landscape. A pioneering model for a bioclimatic city, it provides the ideal foundation for a city to be reinvented, as a unique refuge offering a pleasant place to live in the face of climate change.

The presentation/round table discussion proposed as part of the "Butte Rouge, terrestrial landscape" call for projects, led by Jacques Deval, Marcos Carvalho-Canto, and Adrien Hénocq, contributes to halting the process of destruction/reconstruction/renovation/densification/gentrification of the Butte Rouge promoted by the municipality.

Presented by: Jacques Deval, Landscape Architect, Marcos Carvalho-Canto, Researcher at the Cité de l'Architecture et du Patrimoine (City of Architecture and Heritage), and Adrien Hénocq, TPCAU teacher atENsa Normandie.

In person only.
