Abstract The purpose of this study is to trace the settlement process of the megastructure and urban architecture tendency in France and the morphological evolution process of the 'bar' from the independent form of modern architecture to the contextual form of contemporary city. The 'double parallel bar' has been selected for an architectural type interpretable as aggregation of two independents buildings or three differentiated spaces, and a case study has been produced on this type of housing interpreted in the form of megastructure and urban architecture. As a result, it has been found that the 'bar' has evolved from the modern form, composed of thin pellicle, that constituted the homogeneous spaces disconnected from the city, to the current form, recomposed of thick spatial envelope, that constitutes the differentiated urban spaces at the boundaries with the city.
