“Auguste Perret: Eight Masterpieces!/?” took place in the pillared hypostyle room of the Palais d’Iéna, one of Perret's most significant projects. The exhibition was an invite to explore the wealth of the significance of reinforced concrete architecture today and to question its modern heritage.
The exhibition includes archive materials and a series of contemporary contribution. Over 400 original documents have been selected, some of them on public display for the first time: 100 original architectural drawings from the Perret agency, Photographs from the Chevojon studio, models, a mixed bag of personal and biographical material such as letters, albums, books, objects, magazines…
