Noisy-le-Grand is a commune in the eastern suburbs of Paris, France. It is located 15.2 km (9.4 mi) from the centre of Paris. The commune of Noisy-le-Grand is part of the sector of Porte de Paris, one of the four sectors of the "new town" of Marne-la-Vallée.
Some of the postmodern architecture in the commune has been used as a shooting location in several movies.
Les Espaces d'Abraxas is a monumental complex of 591 apartments in Noisy-le-Grand. It was designed by Ricardo Bofill Taller de Arquitectura in 1978 and completed in 1982. It rapidly acquired iconic status, amplified by its use as background sets in movies and music clips. It consists of three buildings: Le Palacio (the palace) is the largest, followed by Le Théâtre (the theater) to its west, and the smaller L'Arc (the arch) between the other two. Le Palacio has 441 housing units, Le Théâtre has 130, and L'Arc has 20.
In the decades following its creation, living conditions in the complex have deteriorated to the extent that its demolition was debated in the mid-2010s. In 2018, the city of Noisy-le-Grand announced that Ricardo Bofill would oversee the renovation of Les Espaces d'Abraxas and of a number of nearby developments, including new construction.
The unusual and monumental appearance of the Espaces d'Abraxas has made it a favorite background set for unreal, often dystopian narratives. It features prominently in Brazil (1985) and in The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 2 (2015). It also appears in À mort l'arbitre (1984),F.B.I. Frog Butthead Investigators (2012), and the French TV mini-series Trepalium (2016).
The building comes with its own POI.
This pack also contains additional mods for the city of Noisy-le-Grand
-Arènes de Picasso: A real estate complex designed by Spanish architect Manuel Núñez Yanowsky in 1981 and inaugurated in 1985. The ensemble is mainly made up of buildings surrounding a square. At both ends, two large cylinders, whose axis is parallel to the equator, are embedded in the dwellings. The two defining elements of the ensemble are two cylindrical-shaped buildings (nicknamed “camemberts” by locals), placed above the west and east sides of the square.
-Centre commercial Arcades: The Arcades commercial centre, just one block away from the Espaces d'Abraxas, is represented by a huge flat-roofed building in the vanilla game. This mod makes it closer to reality.
-Parking double-helicoïde: this sci-fi looking double-helix parking is located between the Espaces d'Abraxas and the Arcades commercial centre. It was designed in the mid-70s by Ludovic Maillard.
-Le Vendôme: this mod covers 3 modern administrative and office building located just south of the Espaces d'Abraxas inclubding Le Vendôme.
-Porte de Neuilly : this mod covers modern adminstrative and commercial buildings in the immediate northern vicinity of the Espaces d'Abraxas around the square Prte de Neuilly
This pack does NOT contain a full photogrammetry extract of the city in order to keep acceptable size and performances for lower configurations.
Enfin les Camenberts dans un simulateur (et tout le quartier des Arcades qui va avec) !
Merci.
