Architectural context

About Renée Gailhoustet

Renée Gailhoustet (1929–2023) was a French architect who dedicated her career to social housing that rejected the monotony of mass-produced tower blocks. The catalogue holds 1 of her works: The Stars of Ivry-sur-Seine (Les Étoiles d'Ivry), a Brutalist housing complex designed with Jean Renaudie — whose interlocking star-shaped floor plans create generous planted terraces for every apartment — proving that social housing could be spatially rich and individually varied.
