With his work, the filmmaker aimed to show the grand ensemble, or 'the big(ger) picture' of what it meant to live in contemporary con-sumerist oriented France. The protagonist Juliette Johnson represents the French citizen and simultaneously the metaphor of the Paris Region that underwent a huge transformation. The main interest of the text lies in the use of the 360-degree pan shot and the notion of cadre (frame), as they connect film theory and the contemporary discourse about how the décor, i.e. the (built) environment , influences people's cadre de vie (living conditions). A close reading of two film sequences and a historical contextualisation of architectural discourses and theories is completed by a comparison with documentary TV programmes.

To date, however, this reservoir of knowledge and recollections has remained largely unexamined. This substantial collection of audio-visual documents, in different formats, encompasses films by architects, as well as about architects, buildings, and cities. It includes various kinds of documentation, from recordings of inaugural lectures and discussion panels to materials used for teaching and research, stretching to films that were intended for promotional purposes. In short, this repository consists of a diverse set of fragile materials that has been little or not at all researched. Studying this repository is now a pressing matter, not least for conservation reasons.
