Haussmannian Architecture
Haussmannian Architecture refers to the style of urban design and building that emerged in Paris during the mid-19th century, primarily under the direction of Georges-Eugène Haussmann. This architectural movement is characterized by wide boulevards, uniform building heights, and the use of stone facades, creating a cohesive and elegant cityscape. The design aimed to improve urban living conditions and facilitate better traffic flow.
The style also emphasizes large public spaces, such as parks and squares, which were integrated into the city layout. Haussmann's renovations transformed Paris into a modern metropolis, influencing urban planning in cities around the world.
