Les Franciades is part of the Massy Opéra district, a “grand ensemble” which is also the site of the largest shopping center ever built in France in the 1960s.
Creative design office Zoo designed the book Massy, les Franciades – renouveau d’un quartier (English: Massy, les Franciades – Renewal of a District) in collaboration with Paris Sud Aménagement and Ante Prima, as part of a series dedicated to the architectural evolution of the city of Massy. Zoo chose Insitu Black for titles, Adobe Garamond for text, and some Neue Haas Unica on the cover.
