Maison du Peuple, Community center and theater in Clichy, France
The Maison du Peuple building features a metal framework with sliding walls, retractable floors, and a movable glass roof to maximize natural light distribution.
Constructed between 1935 and 1939, architects Eugene Beaudouin and Marcel Lods designed this structure during the Popular Front period as France's first prefabricated building.
The structure combines a covered market on the ground floor with a 1,000-seat multipurpose hall on the first floor that transforms into a cinema.
The building spans 4,200 square meters and includes underground spaces that served as air raid shelters during World War II.
The structure employs steel curtain walls developed by Jean Prouve, representing the first implementation of this architectural element in France.
