In 1944, Le Havre was one of the most damaged towns in Europe. The whole country was profoundly shocked, and the government decided to make a symbol of Le Havre to show what France was capable of. One of the 20th century’s greatest architects, Auguste Perret, was asked to create the new city. He was known for using concrete in imaginative ways so that buildings were functional while preserving classical harmony, symmetry and proportions. He decorated, coloured, treated and dressed the concrete using different techniques, such as chipping and polishing and altering the mix of components, using different proportions of sand, cement and gravel, varying the colours of the façades. Le Havre was again built between 1945 and 1964 and became one of the most modern cities in France.
