Abattoirs de la Mouche, Slaughterhouse complex in Gerland, France
The Abattoirs de la Mouche features multiple buildings with high ceilings, large windows, and functional spaces designed for meat processing operations.
Architect Tony Garnier completed this industrial facility in 1928, transforming it from initial construction in 1914 through post-war renovations until 1931.
The complex hosted the International Urban Exhibition of 1914, demonstrating modern architectural principles and industrial design to over one million visitors.
The facility contained specific areas for different animal processing, with separate sections for cattle, sheep, and pigs across its 240,000 square meters.
During World War I, the buildings served as a munitions factory, employing thousands of workers in the Arsenal de la Mouche.
