Reblogged from Architecture of Doom
Dead Cities is an eerily beautiful publication by French artist Guillaume Greff documenting the architecture of Jeoffrécourt, an artificial town of 5,000 imaginary inhabitants in Northern France. As one of several generic urban environments designed by the French military in order to achieve excellence in warfare skills, Jeoffrécourt boasts a variety of architectures, from suburban homes, housing blocks, abandoned factories, to churches and mosques, not to mention specialized components like firing ranges and trained personnel that double as opposing forces and civilians. In his unsparing photographs Greff captures an uncannily pristine, yet ultimately desolate and miserable urban environment, built with the intention of neutralizing rather than sustaining human life.
