Boulevard du Temple

The Boulevard du Crime was the nickname given in the 19th century to the Boulevard du Temple in Paris because of the many crime melodramas that were shown every night in its many theaters. It is notorious in French history for having lost so many theatres during the rebuilding of Paris by Baron Haussmann in 1862. Of the theatres on the boulevard, only the Folies-Mayer escaped demolition during the construction of Place de la République—solely because it was on the opposite side of the street.In spite of the name, the "Boulevard of Crime" was not dangerous or unpleasant. In fact, it was one of the most popular places in Paris. Every night more than 20,000 people came to walk, sing, laugh and have fun.The "Boulevard du Crime" is featured in the 1945 film Children of Paradise directed by Marcel Carné and gives its name to the first of two sections of the film.

The Confluence Institute, in full: Confluence Institute for Innovation and Creative Strategies in Architecture, is an independent international school of architecture in Paris. Founded in 2014 by French architect Odile Decq and Matteo Cainer, originally from Lyon, the Confluence Institute was created with the aim of breaking the rules of conventional architectural education and exceeding the expectations of traditional architectural pedagogy. To this end, the transdisciplinary approach is based on five themes - neuroscience, new technologies, social action, visual arts and physics - which are taught in a dynamic curriculum delivered in French and English, combining theory and practical learning. This public school, which has been based in Paris since 2018, does not allow students to practise the profession of architect in France, as the diplomas obtained are not recognised and it is not possible to register with the Chamber of Architects or use the title ‘architect’. In February 2018, the Royal Institute of British Architects recognised the bachelor's and master's degrees awarded by the Confluence Institute. The five-year programme in French and English, which concludes with a RIBA Diploma Part 1 (Architectural Diploma, Architecture Confluence Degree A (RIBA part 1)) and 2 (Architecture Confluence Degree B (RIBA part 2)), consists of two cycles and an advanced research programme. The school of architecture is supported by Hitoshi Abe, Bernard Tschumi, Beatriz Colomina, Peter Cook, Cynthia Davidson, Peter Eisenman, Kristin Feireiss, Anna Heringer, Dominique Hervieu, Francine Houben, Špela Hudnik, Irina Korobina, Anupama Kundoo, Kent Martinussen und Eric Owen Moss. The university is located at 11 Rue des Arquebusiers in Paris.

The Carreau du Temple is a covered market in the 3rd arrondissement of Paris, built in 1863. As part of a public consultation exercise undertaken in 2004 the local population voted that the Carreau should be redeveloped as polyvalent public space. The Carreau is scheduled to reopen in 2013.The carreau is situated near the former site of the Temple, the medieval enclosure of the Knights Templar, which gained notoriety as the prison where the Royal family were held during the French Revolution. In 1811 a wooden structure was erected on the site to house a permanent market, which was replaced by the current cast iron, brick and glass structure in 1863. The market specialised in selling clothes, but has declined in popularity. Major renovation of the Carreau du Temple is due to be completed by the end of 2013. During the work, the building was stripped to its metallic structure. Various facilities will be created below ground level and on the main floor. Among the new facilities is a 250-seat auditorium and 1,800 square metres (19,000 sq ft) of multipurpose space at ground level, and below ground level, sport and cultural facilities, including a recording studio. The capacity of the renovated building will be 2800 persons.
