Cité Frugès shot by Filippo Poli.
The village of Pessac was built in less than a year by a parisian contractor who replaced the local firms which refused to undertake the work.
Pessac was conceived to be built of reinforced concrete. The aim: low cost. The means: reinforced concrete. The method: standardization, industrialization, taylorized mass production. Structure: only one type of reinforced concrete beam, 16 ft. 3 in. long, was used for the whole development.
