This boxed-set recounts the long and complex history of this extraordinary urban complex : La Défense. With 133 illustrated articles, the dictionary analyses the territory under three view points (architectural/urban, social/cultural, political/economical) while the atlas reconstructs the rhythm of events, the genealogy of buildings, the time and space "thickness" of the area (timeline, original historical and thematic maps, photographies).
