Landscapes: Outside Visits- Visionary Metropolis: Tony Garnier's Une Cité Industrielle

The exhibit Visionary Metropolis: Tony Garnier's Une Cité Industrielle at the Wolfsonian displays architectural plans for an ideal city during the industrial revolution.The concepts derived from Tony Garniers motivation to create a city that could change the conditions of urban living. Throughout the collection you see a extensive amount of scenes from Une Cité Industrielle that vary.  These scenes appear as if Garnier took a walk throughout this imaginary city, documenting houses, parks, sidewalks and even aerial views of the city.

Tony Garnier is meticulous in his plans and designs. He created a world of his own that reflected the social needs of the people making this body of work so significant. It impacted the way other architects and reformers approached their work. He integrated fitness centers, city parks, and sanitation systems throughout the city. Garnier impacted architecture in many ways that are still being taught and used today.
