An essay by Clement Blanchet
Le Boulevard périphérique : du cadavre exquis à la modernité.

"The vital impetus inspired by the Situationists, who envisioned a city that is lived in and travelled through, can be used to reinvent the Périphérique. The projectual framework that needs to be submitted to it must be visionary and give everyone the desire to love modernity once again. This modernity must manifest itself in a new presence. To rethink the Paris ring road, it is not enough to empty it of traffic and replace it with surface vegetation, which is illusory in its effectiveness in helping the city to become sustainable in the future. The project that needs to be invented must be thought through in architectural terms: it is the very infrastructure that needs to be transformed and recreated to make the Boulevard the centerpiece of 21st century Paris."
