Visionary Metropolis: Tony Garnier’s Une Cité Industrielle

August 13, 2016–January 29, 2017
The Wolfsonian–FIU @ 1001 Washington Avenue

Tony Garnier's Une Cité Industrielle (1904–17) was one of the most remarkable attempts to reimagine the modern city. A prominent French architect, Garnier spent more than a decade devising and illustrating in exquisite detail a plan for an urban plan that would foster both social and environmental harmony. Visionary Metropolis included more than twenty of the design drawings and illustrations that Garnier produced for this project, demonstrating his ideas about how rational design could mitigate the destructive impacts of industrial development.

Visionary Metropolis was presented as part of Ecohumanities for Cities in Crisis, a series of events exploring the relationship between urbanism and ecology, and curated by David Rifkind, FIU College of Communication, Architecture + The Arts. It was supported by a grant from the Humanities in the Public Square Initiative of the National Endowment for the Humanities and organized by Florida International University’s Department of History.
