The utopian dream is a thing of the past: The postmodern residential area of Noisy-le-Grand by Ricardo Bofill.

Parisian photographer Laurent Cronenthal's photo series, Souvenir d'un Futur (Memories of the Future), is a tribute to the elderly residents of the Grand Ensemble of the French capital - not only in Noisy-le-Grand but also in other banlieues.

As part of this photo series, Laurent Cronenthal shot a number of other large residential developments in the Paris suburbs, including Les Espaces d'Abraxas and Le Pavé Neuf in Noisy-le-Grand, Les Tours Aillaud in Nanterre, Les Damiers in Courbevoie, La Cité du Parc and La Cité Maurice-Torez in Ivry-sur-Seine, Le Arcade du Lac and Le Viaduc in Montigny-les-Bretonneux, Le Org de Flandres and La Cité Curiale-Cambre in the 19th arrondissement of Paris.
