Élodie Bitsindou is a PhD student in Contemporary Architecture history, under the supervision of Jean-Baptiste Minnaert at the André Chastel Center, a laboratory under the supervision of Sorbonne University (Faculty of Arts), the CNRS and the Ministry of Culture. Her thesis, currently in progress, focuses on the production of housing in the form of suburban "new villages" in France from the 1960s to the 1980s. Her Master's work, devoted to the works of Spanish architect Ricardo Bofill in the New Towns of the Greater Paris region, founded her interest in architecture and urbanism of the second 20th century, particularly through their utopian dimension. Her interest in the visible and the sensible has led her to bringing her research on screen. She is now working on a documentary portraying the Levittowns and the people who live in them.
