History

The École Nationale Supérieure d'Architecture de Paris-Belleville was founded by a dissident group of students from the École nationale supérieure des Beaux-Arts,[5] l'atelier collégial 1, led by Bernard Huet, in 1965. In 1969 it was officially recognized under the name UP8 (unité pédagogique d'architecture n°8, architectural teaching unit no. 8), and it has since occupied various re-purposed quarters, including Les Halles until their demolition, as well as a former Meccano factory in the Belleville section of Paris. In 2009 it moved into a purposely designed space, a conversion and partial rebuilding of the former site of the Lycée technique Diderot, also in Belleville. In 1986 it was renamed the École d'architecture de Paris-Belleville and UP7 and UP5 were merged into it.[6] It took its current name in 2005.
