Cité de l'Abreuvoir, Housing estate in Bobigny and Drancy, France
The Cité de l'Abreuvoir complex features low-rise buildings and six cylindrical towers set within extensive green spaces across both municipalities.
Architect Émile Aillaud designed this social housing project between 1952 and 1954, completing construction in 1962 with 1,509 residential units.
The estate incorporates colorful building facades in pink, blue, yellow, and orange tones, created through collaboration with artist Fabio Rieti.
The development includes dedicated pedestrian walkways lined with linden trees, separating foot traffic from vehicle circulation throughout the complex.
Three star-shaped towers and three rotating towers form distinctive architectural elements, constructed using continuous sliding formwork techniques.
