This pre-biennial urban study, produced by Rotterdam-based architectural studio MVRDV and The Why Factory (Delft University of Technology), was commissioned by Manifesta 13 Marseille. It was conducted between September 2018 and February 2020. In March 2020 whilst the Covid-19 crisis escalated throughout the world, the publication of Le Grand Puzzle was already near completion.

This global pandemic will reshape our values and determine our social, economic and political decisions for years to come. Though some of the study’s questions might be posed differently today, the underlying facts and tendencies laid bare in Manifesta 13 Le Grand Puzzle still remain as possibilities for our common future.

In April 2020, Manifesta 13 commissioned local photographer Olivier Sarrazin to capture the empty streets of Marseille during the lockdown. His photographs are included here, as a reminder of these strange and testing times.
