  • Le Havre – the city rebuilt by Auguste Peret, structuralist classicism. Le Havre, located on the English Channel in Normandy, was brutally bombed during World War II. The destroyed areas were rebuilt according to the project of an author’s team led by Auguste Peret in 1945-1964. The site includes the administrative, commercial and cultural center of the city. The traces of the old town planning and the preserved historical sites are completely connected with the new structure, organized as a modular network. During the reconstruction, the innovative possibilities of the concrete were used and prefabricated building constructions were applied.
  • The university town of Caracas (Venezuela) was designed by architect Carlos Raul Villanueva in 1940-1960 and is a remarkable example of the “modern movement” in 20th century architecture. A clearly organized ensemble with contemporary architectural and sculptural masterpieces has been created, such as the Great Hall with Alexander Calder’s “Clouds”, the Olympic Stadium and the Covered Square.

  • “Hall of the Century” in Wroclaw, Poland. The “Hall of the Century” (Jaarhunderthalle) or “People’s House”, a landmark in the history of reinforced concrete architecture, was built in 1911-1913 by Max Berg, the city architect of Breslau (Wroclaw). This is a multi-purpose building in the center of an exhibition town, gathering 6,000 spectators in its central space with a glazed dome with a diameter of 65 m and a height of 23 m. For acoustic purposes, the walls are covered with an insulating layer of concrete with cork and wood. The facades are made of visible concrete without decorations. North of the hall there is a pavilion from 1912 by the architect Hans Pölzig for the historical exhibition and a concrete pergola with an artificial pond. The forum formed by a reinforced concrete colonnade was designed by Max Berg in 1924. Next to the entrance is the office building of the company-manager of the fair, built in 1937 by Richard Conviarz. The site is a pioneering work in the field of modern structures and architecture, the result of the interaction of different architectural trends from the early 20th century.
