Parc de la Villette
Within the framework of the public building construction programmes approved by the President of the Republic, the Etablissement Public du Parc de La Villette was appointed to organise the development of a city park.
The park, the first of its size to be developed for over a century, is situated on the north-eastern edge of Paris on the grounds of “La Villette” and totals some 55 hectares.

In March 1982, the French President announced a vast operation of town-planning and architectural projects, including the “Tête Defense” competition.
This competition was organised by the Établissement public pour l’aménagement de La Défense.
It was sponsored by the International Union of Architectes (UIA). This international competition was conducted in one stage and maintained the anonymity of all participants.
