Immigration et ségrégation spatiale. L'exemple de Marseille is the French re-edition of Migrant Marseille which analyses the impact of migration on the city’s space, urbanism and architecture through a series of case studies. Edited by Marc Angélil, Charlotte Malterre-Barthes and Something Fantastic, this book results from a research project conducted by ETH Zurich Architecture students under the supervision of the authors.

From Ensemble Books’ website:

Do cities faced with immigration have any other possible future than the hopeless one of increasingly severe spatial segregation? Is there no other way for European metropolises than to drift towards the American model of gated communities and ethnic ghettos, a real social time bomb?

Campaigning for a more inclusive and peaceful urbanity, a group of committed urban planners and architects presents the fruit of their reflections and experiments in Marseille, in the heart of some of the poorest and most run-down neighbourhoods in Europe.

Under their dispassionate and unstigmatised gaze, the dreaded "Quartiers Nord" of the city of Marseille appear for what they are: the result of a succession of architectural, urbanistic and political errors.

This French version is published by Editions Parenthèses and uses Simplon Norm for titles, Simplon Mono for subtitles, and Toshna mainly for body text.

“Le Cabinet Salon” is an imaginary multidisciplinary office that looks to provide a platform for learning, a circle of reflection, of experiences and of knowledge; the territory from which springs the unexpected. Le Cabinet Salon acts as an archive of books of all sorts, and is most fascinated by encyclopedias, each one as different and exciting as the next. It is open-minded and driven by a variety of unexpected themes, giving into to the pleasure of conversation and taking pleasure in their curiosity. The project aims to explore different types of possible classifications and tools to navigate through a bookshop.

The typography makes use of Masqualero, a high contrast display typeface that comes with a prismatic weight named Masqualero Groove (designed by Jim Ford and released at Monotype 2017), and Toshna, a revival of Tschörtner-Antiqua (1955) by ASType.

The accompanying tour catalogue for the permanent exhibition about Friedrich Ebert, the first President of Germany from 1919 until 1925, is set in Toshna and Secca, both by astype.
