Max Neuhaus

1973
Paris Métro Project, 1973


Neuhaus initiated discussions with RATP for work in 1973. In 1983 the RATP committed itself to the project by providing funding for planning. With this, Neuhaus worked in the site at various times over the next five years and developed the basic concepts of the work.

 After three years the Ministry of Culture joined the project in 1986 with a promise to provide a third of the budget if additional partners could be found. This was accomplished in 1987. In 1988 when the Ministry failed to provide its promised share, Neuhaus finally abandoned the project. 

In 1983 the RATP and a sponser from the private sector, agreed to provide one third of the budget each. At this poiont the ministry, realizing its worst fears had come to fruition In1988, when the Ministry failed to provide its promised share, Neuhaus finally abandoned the project.
