...over destruction of the pavilions involved aesthetics rather than traditions. This time the conservationists were interested in saving what they consider to be the city's prime example of exquisite early ironwork. Les Halles were designed by Architect Victor Baltard, working with Baron Georges Eugene Haussmann, the city planner who created much of modern Paris.

...that by 1980 will transform a 10,000-acre jungled seaside strip south of Abidjan into "the African Riviera" (TIME, March 15). Mayer says he has invitations from 20 other African nations, including Kenya and Madagascar, to build similar tourist centers or hotels. Architect and City Planner Thomas Leitersdorf has planned new housing and roads for the Riviera project in such a fashion as to provide a gentle transition to urban life for the 7,000 Ebrie tribesmen who now live in overcrowded farming villages nearby...
