Chantiers was the organe technique de L’Architecture d’Aujourd’hui, the technical companion of the review, directed by André Bloc with Pierre Vago as editor in chief. Its first issue appeared in February 1933, and it was printed ten times a year.
The information on this page was extracted automatically from the issues and still needs to be reviewed.
Where L’Architecture d’Aujourd’hui showed finished buildings, Chantiers followed them on the building site: structure, materials, prefabrication and equipment, with works by Beaudouin and Lods, Le Corbusier and Pierre Jeanneret, André Lurçat and Roger-Henri Expert.
This database holds 12 issues, from February 1933 to August–September 1934, with page-aligned transcripts for 10 of them and 51 buildings and projects extracted from the captions.

Issues of Chantiers are considered to be in the public domain: under EU law (Directive 2006/116/EC) the journal as a collective work is in the public domain, as more than 70 years have elapsed since its last issue (1934). However, individually authored contributions may carry separate protection: texts, drawings and photographs by authors who died after 1955 may remain under copyright in the EU.
