Maybe a few too many schematic photos. It was hard to see what you were looking at. More photos of the interiors and exteriors of the houses would have been appreciated. It was interesting to read about all the causes that led to a construction boom in Toulouse in the 1950's, similar to that of the world but very pronounced in Toulouse and specific. Great early photos of Le Mirail. Lots of space age photos of cool houses in the region. I couldn't help think of the Jetsons. It makes me want to ride my bicycle through some of these neighborhoods to discover some of these homes. It was also be shown in September at Le Centre Meridional d'architecture. I'm not sure if it is the exact same show or the emphasis will be different, may go just to see. The exhibition was interesting. Maybe a few too many schematic photos.
