Usine Tase, Historical textile factory in Vaulx-en-Velin, France
The U-shaped industrial complex spans 75 hectares with three-level buildings featuring post-and-beam construction and Art Deco elements in the eastern wing.
The Tase factory, established in 1924 by the Gillet family, produced artificial silk and employed 3,000 workers during its peak in the 1930s.
The industrial site included worker housing districts, schools, a church, a stadium, and social facilities, forming a complete factory community.
The southern and western facades received historical monument status in 2011, with the eastern wing now housing modern offices.
The factory complex contains two distinct residential areas: the Small City for supervisors and the Large City for workers, reflecting social hierarchy.
