The “Cultural Block” in Paris, designed by Tolila+Gilliland with TVK

On the outskirts of Paris, in Clichy-Batignolles, a large new complex has sprung up, the work of the TVK and Tolila+Gilliland firms. Its name, The Cultural Block, refers to the intent to allocate large shared spaces to the public and to culture by inserting them into a large 342-unit residential project. A fully-fledged neighbourhood in its own right, even equipped with a cinema, dance school and community centre for the residents.
