The Pont de Se?vres Towers, renamed Citylights following a complete restructuring, were built in 1975 by architects Badani and Roux-Dorlut. Bearing witness to the era?s architectural modernity, they stood high and dense in the midst of a barren urban territory. The restructuring turned this sense of ?isolation? into an asset, on a socio-economic as well as an urban level. The project we conducted is a renovation, re-structuring and an unveiling of the towers? self-evident resources.
