From October 16th 2019 to January 20th 2020, the Pavillon de l’Arsenal in Paris presents an exhibition dedicated to hotels.

Catherine Sabbah and Olivier Namias are the invited curators. They present our ongoing large mixed-use project Éole-Évangile, winner of the Reinventing Paris international competition that comprises a hotel and a youth hostel.

“Hotels are familiar sights in our cities, ones that have been rooted in the urban landscape for as long as we can remember. They are also a building that is perpetually subject to modification, in anticipation of social, economic, and cultural changes. The exhibition ‘Hotel Metropolis – Since 1818’ illustrates the history of this form of architecture since its emergence, depicts the current state of Paris’ hotels, and explores new perspectives on these institutions in light of the environmental challenges we have begun to face.”
