In the years following the founding of the city in 1517, Le Havre thinks only of the sea. Traders do not look after their homes. The commercial houses are built without pretension and the usefulness prevails over the decor and the pomp. But from 1852, Le Havre was born a second time: after the destruction of the ramparts, the habitat spreads in diversi fi ed districts towards the east and the north. The separation between the port and the city begins, while Sainte-Adresse develops a seaside vocation and becomes a famous holiday resort. After the bombings of 1944 that destroyed the "new cities" of the 16th and 18th centuries, Auguste Perret, one of the major architects of the modern current, is in charge of Reconstruction. He then implemented a new way of living: the housing will be functional, conditioned by the concrete structure. His work, exemplary, will be worth to the city rebuilt the inscription to the World Heritage of Humanity. Dedicated to the houses of Le Havre, this book is the result of an exceptional study conducted from the 1990s by the Department of the Inventory of Cultural Heritage of the Normandy Region. It succeeds Le Havre, a new port in 2005, which presented urban planning and public, religious and port buildings.--Page 4 of cover translated by Lieux Dits Éditions Dans les années qui suivent la fondation de la ville en 1517, Le Havre ne pense qu'à la mer. Les négociants ne soignent pas leurs demeures. Les maisons de commerce sont construites sans prétention et l'utile l'emporte sur le décor et le faste. Mais à partir de 1852, Le Havre naît une deuxième fois : après la destruction des remparts, l'habitat se déploie en quartiers diversifiés vers l'est et le nord. La séparation entre le port et la ville s'amorce, tandis que Sainte-Adresse développe une vocation balnéaire et devient un lieu de villégiature réputé. Après les bombardements de 1944 qui détruisent les "villes neuves" des 16e et 18e siècles, Auguste Perret, l'un des architectes majeurs du courant moderne, est chargé de la Reconstruction. Il met alors en oeuvre une nouvelle manière d'habiter : le logement sera fonctionnel, conditionné par la structure en béton.
