HISTORICAL PANELS THAT EVADE WHAT COUNTS

ABOUT 700 DOT THE CITY

That for Olympiades is about construction, gliding over its rejection and ignoring the reason why Asians settled there. 

"Building this ensemble between 1968 and 1975 under the direction of the architect Michel Holley was an element of the restauration known as Italie 13. The site was then occupied by the Gobelins warehouse: it was rebuilt underground and covered over with a slab on which were built towers, buildings and boutiques. Underground automobile circulation, sites for walking and equipment on the slab, high-rising habitations, such were the principles of the functionalist urbanization [...].

That audacious modernist architecture became a cosmopolitan site, Asiatics establishing themselves there from 1975." 

Such irrelevant details repel, turning people away from History

and erasing  — voluntarily ? —  a tool of enlightenment.
