Abstract

Le Grand Puzzle is the urban study, commissioned by Manifesta 13 Marseille to the Rotterdam based architectural studio MVRDV and The Why Factory led by Winy Maas.

The book is the result of intensive research – made from 2018 to the start of 2020 – by an international team of architects and urbanists, in collaboration with Manifesta 13 and representatives of both Marseille institutions and universities. Le Grand Puzzle proposes a methodology, an agenda and an analysis to portray today’s Marseille and can be perceived as a ‘manifesto’ for the city.
