• Ligne n°75 : Marseille's £6bn Capital of Culture rebirth


• Ligne n°77 : Marseille â the port city once notorious for gangs, drugs and violence â is in the grip of a £6bn rebirth. Will its flashy new architecture, including a giant mirror by Norman Foster, make it a worthy Capital of Culture?

• Ligne n°95 : The smell of cement dust and freshly caught fish wafts through the harbour of Marseille, to a backdrop of pneumatic drills and high-pressure hoses. Everywhere you look, the city is being polished and scrubbed, renovated and repainted. Roads are being resurfaced, trees are being planted, and vast new museums are rising from the ground in preparation for the European Capital of Culture 2013 â which began three months ago.


• Ligne n°97 : "Marseille is never in a hurry," says my taxi driver, describing how the city has been a building site for the last 10 years. As he speaks, he takes a diversion around three huge holes in the ground that will soon boast a cluster of teetering towers, part of the city's new business district. The first is complete, a brooding 140m-tall edifice by Zaha Hadid for the port's largest shipping company. It stands incongruously on the low-rise skyline, a great stack of offices squeezed into a glassy, sharply curving corset of a building.


• Ligne n°104 : It's a philosophy of quiet intervention that does not seem to be shared by the architects operating a little way down the waterfront. Here, on the once-abandoned J4 pier, stand the flagship projects of Marseille's bid to be recognised as a cultural centre. The Villa Méditerranée, designed by Italian architect Stefano Boeri, is the first thing you see as you turn the corner of the bay, its sheer white facade butting into the dock like the rump of a cruise liner, complete with tinted oblong windows. From the other side, the building looks like a supersized diving board, with one vast exhibition hall jutting out towards the sea in a 40m-long cantilever, suspended above a pool of water in which the detritus of construction floats in forlorn clumps. So what exactly is this curious building for? It is hard to know.


• Ligne n°110 : Due to open in June, Mucem is something of a coup for Marseille. Nestling beneath the craggy wall of Fort Saint-Jean, a 17th-century stronghold that once housed the Foreign Legion, the squat glass building is shielded from the harsh Mediterranean sun by a dark filigree veil. Stretched like a taut fishing net across the facade, this concrete shroud echoes the mashrabiya latticework screens used in much of the architecture of north Africa to keep buildings cool â an appropriate touch, given Mucem will explore the culture of this land just across the water.

• Ligne n°113 : It is the work of Algerian-born French architect Rudy Ricciotti, a tempestuous and provocative iconoclast described by designer Philippe Starck as "a clairvoyant, untamable wild animal". Ricciotti's work has a raw energy to it, wrenching concrete into primal, twisted forms. Beneath Mucem's enveloping skin, a line of crooked, bony columns marches around the perimeter, supporting a ramping walkway. This fires out from the roof in a thin spear of concrete that stretches 115m across the water to pierce Fort Saint-Jean (the museum continues inside) and then leaps further across a gulley to connect the complex to the town. Exploiting the natural drama of Mucem's steep hillside setting, this is a brilliant, brazen move that, no matter what the museum houses, will provide one of Marseille's most thrilling new walks.


• Ligne n°117 : Unfortunately, his panels do nothing of the sort, being suspended in front of a mostly opaque concrete facade. Instead, they give the building's exterior a flimsy cheapness that belies its â¬22m cost, and undermines the simple power of the sequence of galleries within. It reflects perhaps the most prominent symptom of the Capital of Culture: wherever it descends, it results in a spasm of accelerated projects, favouring exterior image and the power of spectacle over long-term, joined-up thinking. The Euroméditerranée development will continue until 2020 â in total bringing 24,000 new homes, 1m square metres of offices, and 150 acres of public space. This will no doubt give Marseille the economic boost it needs, although how far this will filter out into the impoverished peripheries is questionable.


• Ligne n°119 : The city's bold embrace of such grands projets is, however, nothing new. When Louis XIV had Fort Saint-Jean built, way back in 1660, he said: "We noticed that the inhabitants of Marseille were extremely fond of nice fortresses." Little did he know that, 350 years on, they would still be building them.
