AB - [ENG]  The architecture of Jean Renaudie (1925-1981) is a response to the political-social context of France in the second half of the 20th century. Its development, first in the Atelier Montrouge and then alone, is part of the criticism that the generation of young architects made about the postulates of the Athens Charter. From a social point of view, on evaluation of these functionalist results, for the new professionals, there was a suggestion of a modification of their architectural and urban configurations. Concepts such as identity, association, mobility and growth, presented by Team 10 at the 10th CIAM Congress held in Dubrovnik (1956), transpired thanks to the expansion that took place out towards the city’s peripheries. In this paper we will analyze the role of reinforced concrete in Jean Renaudie’s social architecture complexes, with particular emphasis on the project entitled Les Étoiles de Givors (1974-1981): an urban complex that brought together the experience of previously constructed buildings such as that of Ivry-sur-Seine and theoretical cities like Gigaro or Vaudreuil. The aim will be to demonstrate that the use of concrete with a geometric structural order, together with the design of prefabricated pieces for non-bearing facades, brought in synergy a long-awaited diversity that supported their discourse when it came to the logic of complexity.
