MAPPING PLATFORM

Saint Nicholas’ fort

Overlooking the Old Port, this 17th-century fortress was originally built by Louis XIV not just to protect the city from external threats, but specifically to keep the historically rebellious citizens of Marseille under surveillance. Using this heritage site as a backdrop allows projects to dissect the historical relationship between state authority, military architecture, and citizen rebellion.
