.
Jussieu Campus consists out of a regular grid of 6-floor wings and
is generally decried as an architectural failure. The hollow space
under the buildings enables wind to build up its force, the regular
grid plan is confusing and polluted with asbestos. It has
increasingly degraded, leaving its facade covered in graffiti. The
new 16M building extends and completes the grid plan that
architect Edouard Albert designed in the 60s; based on the
existing system, but at the same time deforms it: where Albert
laid out a single patio, Périphériques planned two. The façades
are glazed on the same pattern as Albert’s existing building. But
the glass metal skin composed of ten types of panels perforated
with circular holes of different sizes give the façades complex
and variable depth. At ground floor, the existing slab on which
the university buildings are built folds up in an origami-like
orange ramp to even up the levels in a fluid movement.

Musée du Quai Branly
Address
quai Branly 37
75007 Paris
France
http://www.quaibranly.fr/
.
Mitterrand sprinkled Paris with bold landmarks, from Pei's glass
pyramid at the Louvre to Dominique Perrault's National Library.
Georges Pompidou built the colorful machinelike museum. Like
its predecessors, Chirac’s new Quai Branly has stirred
considerable resentment. Defiant, mysterious and wildly
eccentric, it is not an easy building to love. Its jumble of
different structures, set in a lush green garden on the bank of the
Seine in the shadow of the Eiffel Tower, hardly conforms to
notions of Parisian monumental elegance. Yet, Jean Nouvel's
design creates a kaleidoscopic montage of urban impressions. And
once you give yourself over to the experience, you may find it the
greatest monument to French popular culture since the
Pompidou. The building combines angular glass walls with
futuristic cubes of bright color and outside, a green wall of thick
vegetation, suggestive of a forest or a jungle. An enormous
curved glass wall shields the garden from cars roaring by. An
urban oasis.

Arab World Institute
Address
Rue des Fosses-Saint-Bernard 1
75005 Paris
France
http://www.imarabe.org
.
In 1980, 18 Arab countries concluded an agreement with France
to establish the AWI to spread knowledge and research the Arab
World’s language, and its cultural and spiritual values, reflecting
the opinion, that the Arab world - its civilization and values, its
past and future - needs to be better known and understood in the
West. It supplies cultural information in a wide range of media:
libraries, electronic databanks, a conventional, glass-case
museum, audio-visual displays, and an outreach program of
touring exhibits and performances as well. This is not an Arab
building, but an occidental one, it’s not pastiche, like the Paris
Mosque, but modern and from an urban point of view. The
Institute is a hinge between 2 cultures and histories. Certain
symbolic items like the “moucharabiehs” whose polygons of
varying shapes and sizes, create a geometric effect recalling the
Alhambra. It AWI has been conceived equally by Jean Nouvel,
Architecture-Studio, Pierre Soria and Gilbert Lezenes.

A-Poc Boutique
Address
Rue des Francs Bourgeois 47
75004 Paris
France
http://www.isseymiyake.co.jp/
.
This Issey Miyake shop was conceived of as a support: to carry the
clothes and accessories of a collection that changes and evolves
every 6 months. The framework is a corian structure that runs
along walls and ceiling. It is composed of 3 horizontal bars, a
traditional one at the height of a clothes rail, one higher and one
lower. The ceiling is criss-crossed with bars that primarily serve
to carry the clothes on hangers. Then, a series of accessories,
which are also placed on the framework, allows you to arrange
other elements in a different way: big vertical metal plaques act
as boards to which the clothes have been attached with magnets;
horizontal plates hold clothes laid out flat, and also shoes or
bags. The curtains of the changing rooms are made up of a set of
upholstered strips. They make the space of the changing rooms
gentler, almost sound-proofed. This was the first interior
commission, until then Bouroullec’s work had been restricted to
furniture and objects.

Tower Flower
Address
Rue Albert Roussel 23
75017 Paris
France
.
"Flower Tower" is a bit of a misnomer since bamboo isn't a
regularly flowering plant (bamboo generally dies after flowering,
and most species are long lived, so you connect the dots), but it
sounds better than "Bamboo Building" I guess. This Parisian
apartment block features a green facade of bamboo planted in
380 large concrete pots embedded in the balconies.

Bibliothèque Nationale François
Mitterand
Address
Quai François-Mauriac 1
75706 Paris
France
http://www.bnf.fr/
.
On 14 July 1988, François Mitterrand announced the construction
and the expansion of one of the largest and most modern
libraries in the world, intended to cover all fields of knowledge,
and designed to be accessible to all, using the most modern data
transfer technologies, which could be consulted from a distance,
and which would collaborate with other European libraries. In
July 1989, the services of the architectural firm of Dominique
Perrault were retained. After the move of the major collections
from the rue de Richelieu, the National Library of France opened
to the public on 20 December 1996. It contains more than ten
million volumes. The new complex consists of a large esplanade
and four identical L-shaped towers, whose form recalls the shape
of an open book. This architecture was controversial; many
considered it too costly, and not very suitable to the storage of
book collections. Indeed, wooden boards had to be set up at the
windows to protect the books from the light.

Villa la Roche
Address
Square du Docteur-Blanche 10
75016 Paris
France
http://www.fondationlecorbusier.asso.fr/
.
Villa La Roche was built as a home for Raoul La Roche, a Swiss
banker and collector of avant-garde art. Among other things, the
house would serve as a private gallery to display La Roche's
extensive art collection. Built in a private Paris courtyard, the
house had major constraints imposed by the site and its zoning
restrictions, including a north orientation, existing trees and
height and boundary limitations. Inside the building, to display
the art, an ‘architectural promenade’ was made, a theme
inspired by Le Corbusier's visit to the Acropolis in 1911 and
repeated most strikingly in his Carpenter centre for the Visual
Arts nearly forty years later. The promenade goes up and down
staircases, leads you through tight spaces, in-between balconies,
open surveys, down ramps and into a beautifully lit library. This
idea of a spatial sequence was re-invented by many modern
architects, after Le Corbusier.

Maison de Verre
Address
Rue Saint-Guillaume 31
75007 Paris
France
.
Interior designer Chareau joined efforts with licensed architect
Bernard Bijvoet to design what would be part gynological clinic
for Dr. Dalsace and part private residence for the doctor and his
wife, Annie. The remarkable Maison de Verre (glass house) was
inserted into an existing building and is one of the greatest
houses of the International Style, adding materials the movement
had never used before in such an extent to create a work of
architectural genius -- a structure that is fully functional and fully
aesthetic in its simplicity. The steel frame allowed for complete
freedom of internal space. The glass block wall itself, is able to
stand alone without a heavy frame breaking its pattern.
Ventilation through the glass block wall is provided by a series of
movable traps. A not-so-complicated weight and pulley system
opens the window panels, allowing for natural ventilation. This
unique system causes a minimum of visual impact on the glass
facade of the structure.

House and studio Ozenfant
Address
Avenue Reille 53
75014 Paris
France
.
The house and studio in Paris for Le Corbusier's friend the painter
Ozenfant is an early example of 'minimal' architecture, a
prototype of the Domino house and a manifestation of some of
the principles which Le Corbusier was to set out in his famous
'five points.' It possessed a geometrical clarity inside and out
which has since been lost with the elimination of the north-light
roof and its replacement by a flat one.

Gymnasium Maurice Berlemont
Address
Rue de l'Orillon 22
75011 Paris
France
http://www.mairie11.paris.fr/
.
For all inhabitants and young people in the neighborhood of
"Fontaine Au Roi - Orillon" architect Emmanuel Saadi was
commissioned with the design of the new gymnasium Maurice
Berlemont. The complex is open not only during school time, but
also after school, for the young to go play and encourage social
integration. Before it was built, there was a playground on the
site. In order to reduce noise levels, the playground was
converted into a gymnasium with walls made of glass bricks,
allowing the inside to be seen from the outside and vice-versa. It
had to be a very public, open and free building. The project was
financed with public funds of the city of Paris. A questionnaire
was made to analyze the inhabitants’ most prominent wishes. It
took three years of dialogue and reflection between the local
politicians of the 11e quarter and the department of Youth and
Sports of the municipality of Paris, before a decision was made
and start this project.

Hotel Fouquet's Barrière
Address
Avenue George V 46
75008 Paris
France
http://www.fouquets-barriere.com/
.
Located in the heart of Paris, this 80-room luxury hotel is
designed with a new moulded façade as replica of a Haussmann
façade. A typical Hausmann building on the Champs Elysess was
copied so the new hotel would seamlessly fit into its
surroundings. The corner addition connects to its neighbours, but
the ‘existing’ façade does not relate to its interior, the architect
punched new wholes into the concrete where necessary. The
combination of this copied, moulded concrete façade with
pierced and stuck-on modern additions, make a very intriguing
image.

Plaine Saint Denis Police Station
Address
Rue du Landy 39
92110 Paris
France
.
Saint Denis, a former industrial area located in the northern
suburbs of Paris, suffers from public safety problems. This has led
to a new kind of police station designed to meet local conditions.
X-TU's police station is the outcome of a rigorous analysis of
issues like security, communications and circulation. This resulted
in 2 completely segregated entrances. The first is intended for
visitors, who enter a lobby through a monitored security
entrance. The second entrance is reserved for police personnel,
and provides access through a secured courtyard into a second
lobby that communicates with all floors and internal services.
While its functionality is beyond reproach, the St. Denis police
station also offers an interesting, sculptural silhouette formed by
a set of interlocking volumes. Their sides are in black glazed
concrete or in serigraphed white glass, the pattern density of
which provides opacity or transparency depending on the degree
of confidentiality required.

Espace Citroën
Address
Avenue des Champs-Elysées 42
75008 Paris
France
.
The car manufacturer with the handsomest (red-and-white)
garages is undoubtedly Citroën. Following in the footsteps of
founder André Citroën, who regarded architecture as an
important part of his marketing strategy, architect Manuelle
Gautrand built the company the ultimate showroom on the
Champs-Elysées in Paris. Gautrand used the glass of the faceted
window as a symbol of the marque's creativity and
innovativeness. She fused the corporate logo with the façade
structure: the frame is made up of inverted V-shapes. Behind the
skin is the spectacle of a completely open space in which cars are
displayed in a metres-high tower.

Centre Georges Pompidou is a complex in the Beaubourg area of
the IVe arrondissement of Paris, near Les Halles and the Marais.
It houses the Bibliothèque publique d'information, a public
library, the Musée National d'Art Moderne, and IRCAM, a centre
for music and acoustic research. The building was designed by the
architects Renzo Piano, Richard Rogers and Sue Rogers and
engineers Peter Rice and Edmund Happold, whose design was not
popular at first. However, under the guidance of its first
director, Pontus Hultén, it quickly became a noted attraction in
Paris. The Pompidou 'revolutionized museums,' the Pritzker jury
said, 'transforming what had once been elite monuments into
popular places of social and cultural exchange, woven into the
heart of the city. The characteristic piping is colour-coded
according to the contents: yellow for electricity, red for
transport, blue for water, and green for air.' [Wikipedia.org]

The aim of this project was to regroup on a single site all the
services of the Ministry of Culture, previously dispersed over 17
different locations around the city. Architect Francis Soler
resolved the major constraints -disparity in dates and indifferent
architectural style of the two existing buildings- into elements of
unity and identity. This unity is omnipresent in the internal space
planning: the two buildings have been remodelled in their
substance to require the obtained density, optimize work spaces
and interconnect the different floor levels. The other unifying
element is purely architectural. In the manner of Christo, Soler
has wrapped the old buildings, walls and roof included, in a
continuous organic-weave mesh of steel lace. Without entirely
effacing underlying differences, this stainless steel veil imparts
continuity to the disparate volumes. It hangs like a loose net
detached from the elevations, its appearance changing in phase
with the sun, shadows, day and night.

Fondation Cartier
Address
Boulevard Raspail 261
75014 Paris
France
http://fondation.cartier.com/
.
In 1994, the Fondation Cartier moved, exchanging Jouy-en-Josas
near Versailles for the boulevard Raspail in the heart of Paris. Its
new premises were designed by Jean Nouvel, an architect
celebrated in France and throughout the world for the unique
way in which he “dematerializes” architectural structure. He also
famously designed the Institut du Monde Arabe (1987) and the
Musée du Quai Branly (2006), both in Paris. For the external
façade, he designed a glass screen running parallel to the
boulevard Raspail that would prolong the boulevard’s
perspective. Behind this transparent wall, a cedar of Lebanon
planted by Chateaubriand in 1823 emerges from a monumental
flower pot clad with multi-colored mosaics, a witty creation by
the Italian designer Alessandro Mendini. Above the entrance to
the building rises a wall of plants commissioned in 1998 from
Patrick Blanc, a specialist in tropical botany and the creator of
this innovative design.

Communist Party Headquarters
Address
Place Colonel Fabien 2

http://www.pcf.fr
.
The avant-garde building conceived by Brazilian architect Oscar
Niemeyer has become super hip. In 2000, Italian fashion house
Prada rented the building to present its collection. Niemeyer has
created a beautiful building. He wanted a simple construction
without ornament. The walls of the Place du Colonel Fabien have
kept the marks of the wooden boards used to build them. Oscar
Niemeyer said the headquarters was ''a piece of work which will
constitute in this city, I am sure, an example of contemporary
architecture, and even, permit me to say, a tourist attraction.''
The main conference room with metal slates hanging vertically on
the walls is situated below ground level and has Niemeyer desks
and chairs. The room's dome (see the satellite images) is on the
lawn in front of the curved six-story main building, sheathed in
glass.

The Grande Arche de la Fraternité is a monument in the business
district of La Défense to the west of Paris. It is usually known as
the Arche de la Défense or simply as La Grande Arche. An
international design competition was launched at the initiative of
French president François Mitterrand. Danish architect Johann
Otto von Spreckelsen (1929–1987) designed the winning entry to
be a 20th century version of the Arc de Triomphe: a monument to
humanity and humanitarian ideals rather than military victories.
After Spreckelsen's death in 1987, his associate, French architect
Paul Andreu, completed the work. The Arche is almost a perfect
cube (width: 108m, height: 110m, depth: 112m. The two sides
house government offices. The roof section, exploited by is an
exhibition centre.

Parc André Citroën
Address
Quai André-Citroën
75015 Paris
France
.
The park occupies the site where the Citroën factory stood from
1915-1970. The park is split into several parts. The White Garden
is tree-lined, with little foliage which opens on to the neighboring
area. In its center there is a patio with white flowering plants.
The Dark Garden is a sort of enclosed labyrinth, highly shaded
with very dense and dark vegetation and terraces giving on to a
small square. The Central Park consists of a large, rectangular
expanse of lawn, diagonally sliced by a walkway. On the south
side of the lawn are two very large, fifteen meter-high
greenhouses, which also function as sitting-rooms and are themed
in correspondence with the adjacent Theme Gardens. Both
greenhouses are bordered by dozens of closely trimmed Magnolia
trees and separated by a pavement of 120 individual dancing
fountains. This ‘futuristic’ park was supposed to foreshadow the
leisure spaces of the third millennium, but is that reflects today’s
reality? The opinions are unfortunately various.

Le Grand Louvre

The central courtyard of the museum, on the axis of the
Champs-Élysées, is occupied by the Louvre Pyramid, which serves
as the main entrance to the museum. This leads into a new
central circulation space for the main wings of the galleries and
as a visual centre point for the vast sprawling exterior. The
challenge for celebrity architect I.M. Pei was to create a design
that would accomplish its task while at the same time allow the
Louvre Museum to remain the focus of attention. The solution he
came up with was a series of glass pyramids. The structures jut
into the sky to draw the gaze of tourists and let them know this is
where they should be. But at the same time it allows both them
and the Parisians the ability to see through it and revel in the
elder architectural masterpiece. The project also included the
construction of a shopping mall, cultural center, an auditorium,
and parking garages.

This project is located in the surroundings of the National Library
of France, in a new neighbourhood which is being built on the
banks of the Seine over one of the very few pieces of land that
the city of Paris had at its disposal. The operation includes a wide
variety of uses, integrating homes, offices and facilities in similar
proportions and in the same area of the city. Including public
rental homes like these in big cities counteracts the effect that
high prices that tend to invade the centre of a metropolis,
creating homes affordable only to the wealthier sector. In
operations like this one, the idea is to curb the tendency that has
arisen in the past few years, the tendency to force the majority
of the population to look for homes in the suburbs, further and
further from the city.

The Cinémathèque is setting up in the building which was initially
conceived by the architect Frank O. Gehry known as the famous

building was wittily named "the dancer raising her tutu" by its

which makes use of space and light in a very nice way,
contrasting with the elevation made of white stone on the side
facing Bercy Street. The inside spaces, reconverted by the
architect Dominique Brard, make use of an abundance of inclined
planes which enable communication between the different
volumes and the great number of overlaped levels. [from the
project's website] Cinémathèque Française hosts the largest
archive of films, movie documents, and film-related objects in
the world. It holds daily screenings of a variety of films from all

This is the first project in Paris by the Herzog De Meuron team on
an unusual site in the 14th Arrondisement not far from Gare
Montparnesse. The result of a 1966 competition sponsored by the
Paris public housing agency Régie Immobilière de la Paris (RVIP),
the project is built on three interconnected parcels that include
infill sites on two sides of a long perimeter block that face a long
narrow plot on the interior of the block. The infill buildings are
built to the neighbourhood height of 7 floors, while the interior
slab is only 3 floors in height. Entry to the interior of the block is
made beneath the infill buildings. In addition to the 4 story
difference in building height, the long narrow block designed as a
free-standing element in a long narrow garden and is protected
with curving rolling wooden blinds that are in sharp contrast to
the folding metal blinds that cover the façades of the street
buildings. The three buildings contain about 60 flats and
basement parking.

Almost all of Paris’s social housing authorities have revamped
their building strategies. The shift dates to the inauguration of
Mayor Bertrand Delanöe, a socialist and a design advocate who,
with others, knew the banlieue was an issue long before the
riots. The city is now building better social architecture, aiming
to reverse social housing’s negative stigma. One of these projects
is an unusual concrete building, built for the Société Anonyme
d’Economie Mixte Immobilière Interdépartementale in the
formerly industrial Masséna area by Beckmann-N’Thépé. The
building’s center is carved out about three levels up to create a
lofted courtyard, while side portions are also cut out to create
several rooftop gardens. The structure contains 48 flats,
commerce, and an underground garage (text from Architectural

Coeur Défense

Voie des Bâtisseurs 92044 Paris

This is the biggest corporate project built in Europe in recent
decades: 350.000 m2 of floor space. It stands in the 'heart' of La
Défense, beside the historic east-west axis that runs from the
Louvre to the Grand Arch. There are two twin towers 180m high,
linked by an 'inter-tower', and three low buildings, all federated
by a large atrium that rises to a height of 44 metres over an
hectare of floor space. The typology chosen shuns the model of
thick towers, preferring thin, streamlined volumes that generate
work spaces near glazed façades, and thus open to daylight. The
atrium is a complex space sitting on a three-level base, the
highest of which connects to the Charles de Gaulle Esplanade and
provides access to all the buildings, restaurants, services and
conference centre. 10.000 people work in this huge set. The five
buildings of the set enter into rythmic play and express taut
effort in their clean skins, clean lines and curved edges (text from

Pavillon Suisse
Address
Boulevard Jourdan 7
75014 Paris
France
http://www.fondationsuisse.fr
.
Cité universitaire was founded in 1921 to provide accommodation
and support for foreign students in Paris, with a number of
residential pavilions endowed by different national communities.
The pavilion adheres to Le Corbusier's 'five points of
architecture', but with a number of developments since the Villa
Savoye. The free façade and horizontal window have become a
continuous glazed curtain wall, on the south side of the building
(above). The pilotis have developed from thin columns to six
massive reinforced concrete 'dog-bones' or 'thighs' with their
characteristic figure-of-eight cross section to withstand winds.
While the client accepted the student rooms being raised in mid
air, the public spaces were required to be on the ground. The
plan accommodates them in a separate block sitting on the
earth, its curvaceous form contrasting with the simple slab of the
student accommodation (text from www.galinsky.com).

Cité de Refuge
Address
Rue Cantagrel 12
75013 Paris
France
.
The Salvation Army Refuge in Paris was Le Corbusier's first
opportunity to create accommodation for the urban poor. The
compact site provided the chance for a radical approach both to
bringing in light and space and to laying out the entrance halls to
accommodate the Salvation Army's reception process. The core of
Le Corbusier's design was the dormitory slab with a sheer glass
curtain wall. Critical to the success of this south-facing glass wall
was to have been a technologically ambitious system of double
glazing and air conditioning ('respiration exacte'). These were
never built as intended, and the sheer skin of the wall was lost to
Le Corbusier's trademark brises soleils later on in an attempt to
prevent the inhabitants from overheating. In the spirit of the free
plan, Le Corbusier took the entrance hall components out of the
dormitory block, constructing a geometric pathway through
separate reception buildings outside (text from
www.galinsky.com).

Community center and outdoor

Address
Rue du Général Malleterre 1-9

http://www.actisce.org/author/le-point-du-jour/
.
In the south part of the 16th arrondissement of Paris, this
community complex, and the entire block which is dedicated to
sports activities, is located next to the river Seine. Conceived for
the neighbourhood, the 'Centre d’animation Le Point du Jour'
groups various activities: physical education, musical, visual arts,
exhibition space and theatre. This building is supplemented by an
external bowling pitch (4 grounds). Each element has its
particular functional characteristics, they all work harmoniously
with the others without bothering one another. The building has a
frontage to each side. This architectural choice tends to
attenuate the strong constraints of the context (very noisy, dense
motor vehicle traffic) as well as it emphasizes the exceptional
sights offered by the Seine. Each space is positioned in order to
see the city without hearing it and plays with the transparencies
and reflections which make urban environment an architectural
material just as concrete, metal or glass

Student Housing Ménilmontant
Address
Rue de Ménilmontant 109/111
75020 Paris
France
.
While climbing the steep and bustling road of Ménilmontant the
student residence slowly reveals itself in a series of paradoxes:
deeply rooted in the context of the Parisian apartment block, it
also stands out as something unexpected and intriguing. The
strict street alignment imposed by planning regulation is
punctured by a two-storey porch, bursting with colour and light,
begging the viewer to look deep into the heart of the Parisian
block where a hidden world awaits: two rows of former
workshops, rehabilitated into 16 loft apartments, a street-like
space between. The spatial connection between these
workshops and the porch, accentuated by a topographical shift,
provides a vibrant outdoor gathering space for the students.
Here, a consistent approach to colour and lighting is established
that subsequently continues throughout all of the building's
circulation zones.

This project consists of the redevelopment of an existing
building, as well as adding an extension. This extension consists
of a simple, rigorous and radical volume, located perpendicular
to the existing building. The projected façades of the additional
level are adjusted to the original ones with the same vertical
gaps. The coatings of the façades are have been enlivened with
vegetal prints. These provide a subtle texture and give scale to
the project. This treatment confers to the new building a poetic
aspect which plays with the surrounding trees.

To create this workshop in the city centre of Paris, the idea was
to refurbish an old building from the Marais. Because the façades
are classified as a historical monument, the initial design
consisted of keeping the existing façades and millworks by
making one workshop per level in a contemporary way. The
luminous upper level has been treated with fractals so that the
light can be diffused on the bodies of the nude drawings

Nouveau Casino
Address
Rue Oberkampf 109
75011 Paris
France
http://www.nouveaucasino.net
.
In a very dense urban setting, the task was to create an
auditorium at the back of a fine early 20th-century Parisian café
with a sound capacity of 135dbA. The principle chosen was that
of the box within a box, thus preserving the image and
atmosphere of the Café Charbon which, with the construction of
kitchens on the ground floor and basement levels, acquired a
restaurant in the process. The Nouveau Casino, located behind
the mirror in the main room, is designed in a modern style, in
reference to the film Star Wars. The main room of the Nouveau
Casino is designed as a deep cavern with uneven walls covered in
black untreated steel, along which there is a very long, organic
and gentle shaped bar in luminous translucent resin. A mezzanine
above the entrance offers another perception of the space. There
is a stage at the end of the hall for musicians. On the surface of
the thick acoustic area, 6 videoprojectors emerge from the
deformed triangles, their lenses positioned against loopholes.

Bibliothèque Kandinsky
Address
Place Beaubourg 1

.
On the third level of Centre Georges Pompidou in Paris, one will
find the Graphic Art's studio and offices and the National Museum
of Modern Art's documentation offices, reading room and
Warehouse. Eventhough the reading room, the public space of the
floor, spreads in a central position, the glass, the material used in
the project, eclipses the dense occupation of the place.
Transparent, opaque, bright or mirror, it values R. Rogers and R.
Piano's building and lets light reach the center of the floor.
Furniture and working people are hidden by transparent glass
panels made of mirrors, 1.40m high. This composition turns the
space in a kind of game place where people appear and
disappear through transparent glass or hidden by mirrors, letting
the image hint at activity but never revealing it.

Pink Ghost
Address
Place Furstemberg
75006 Paris
France
.
In the framework of the second edition of the Contemporary Art
Exposition Saint-Germain-des-Près, Périphériques Architectes
were invited to participate with an installation on Place
Furstemberg. The Pink Ghost was a 'sculptural transformation' of
the centre of the square with a 'preservation' stance. Made of
pink epoxy, the installation enveloped four trees and a
streetlight to a height of 2.5 metres and covered the entire
surface of the small central square. While the covering work was
being done, the architects cleverly 'slipped' about 20 chairs and
five coffee tables under the resine, to turn this exterior urban
space into an 'interior' lounge/salon situated outside, in a way
that raises questions about the status of public space in the city.
After its removal from the square, Pink Ghost was rebuilt in the
French pavilion at the Biennale of Architecture in Venice, as a
memory of the plaza and its new use.

and the architects wanted to realise a quiet and closed space
dedicated to tourists who would like to have a real experience
spending time in the hotel. Mixing influences and styles to create
a proper atmosphere perfectly matched the development of an
atmosphere around a design period, to improve your ideas on this
period and to link it with the present.

Designed by Bruno Elkouken a French architect of Polish-Jewish
origin who had to flee to United States during the Second World
War - produced only five buildings in Paris. In this project he used
bow-windows over two floors resulting in a façade, showing a
composition of cubist volumes. The effect is reinforced by setting
back the upper storey terraces. The abstract composition is
underlined by the graphic effect of the window frames
materialised in black metal.

This complex was created by Paris-based architect, designer and
production designer Robert Mallet-Stevens (1886-1945),
co-founder of UAM (Union of Modern Artists) in 1929. The street
is composed of four housing blocks that create a private dead-end
crossing; there are also ateliers at the ground floor (one used to
be Mallet-Stevens' office and is now an art gallery open to the
public). Mallet-Stevens' architecture explores all different
variations of modernist architecture language; in this work he
displays a huge catalogue of windows, volumes and formal
compositions; the architect was also criticised for the use of such
a complex language.

Paris Eight
Address
Rue de Courcelles 40

.
Paris Eight is a 18.000m² building located in the heart of the
Central Business District (CBD). Formerly the headquarters of a
bank and renovated in 1999, the building was in need of a new
renovation in order to attract some new tenants. The figure 8 has
always been associated with renewal. Whilst respecting the
linearity and purity of the art deco façade, ASAA has breathed
new life into the interior of Paris Eight. The redevelopment
reconciles history and technological innovation and at the same
time provides the building with present-day comforts and
practical features. To obtain this result, ASAA followed three
main ideas: transform a unique tenant building in a multi-tenant
building; create a proper identity to the building and realise the
works whilst respecting the environment.

Daunay housing
Address
Impasse Daunay 6
75011 Paris
France
.
This large block of 8 flats merges smoothly into the heterogeneity
of the Impasse Daunay cul-de-sac. Facing the street, the
textured glass skin covering the facades pays discreet homage to
the glass walls of the artists’ studios in this Père Lachaise
neighbourhood. The choice of glass, used here for the facade
covering, parapets, transparent partitions for common areas or
simply as windows, has an aesthetic appeal in its uniformity of
material and stark simplicity in keeping with the project’s
general low key approach: just 8 housing units in a little
cul-de-sac. On the courtyard side, the retified pine cladding
extends the ambiance of the neighbouring condominium‘s
garden. The orange colour of the communal areas has the effect
of highlighting the glass’s dominant hard characteristic. The
systematic nature of this monochrome look is counter-balanced
by the vivid brightness of the common areas. In the street, the
colour is relatively unobtrusive and is visible only in the
entrance.

Soleil d'Or
Address
Rue de Vaugirard 226

This project presents a double stake : Restoration of a XVIIIth
century middle class house, which became a 'guinguette' in the
XIXth century, sitting on rue de Vaugirard, and the development
of the heart of a housing block filled with history and saving a
piece of countryside in Paris. The operation consists in restoring
22 accommodations in the ancient parts and 19 in the new
buildings inside the block. The central space, will be changed
back into a garden-orchard as described in an inventory in 1785
on the November the 18th. 16 trees will be planted. It will be
both a natural extension for neighbour plots and relieve
congestion in this part of the XVth district of Paris. Although H &
E certification applies only to new housing, we chose to think
globally for this project by designing the entire program in the
spirit of the charter signed between the City and the OPAC. As a
result we included while choosing materials : biomur, wooden
window frames, green roofs, zinc roofing .

Eiffel Tower
Address
Avenue Gustave Eiffel
75007 Paris
France
http://www.tour-eiffel.fr
.
For the Universal Exhibition of 1889, a date that marked the
centenary of the French Revolution, the Journal Officiel launched
a major competition to “study the possibility of erecting an iron
tower on the Champ-de-Mars. The tower would have a square
base, 125 metres on each side and 300 meters high”. The project
proposal by entrepreneur Gustave Eiffel, engineers Maurice
Koechlin and Emile Nouguier and architect Stephen Sauvestre was
chosen out of a total of 107. The construction of the Eiffel Tower
in 1889 was Eiffel's crowning achievement. His career as an
entrepreneur would come to an end with the failure of the
Panama Canal project. From then on, he devoted his time to
operating the Tower and to various experiments in air resistance,
the observation of meteorology and especially the installation of
a giant antenna for the earliest radio broadcasts. Indeed, it is
because of these experiments that the Eiffel Tower is still
standing, since it was initially built to last 20 years.

A residential home for young autistic persons who are making a
first step toward their independence. Outside, the surrounding
wall turns around the yard while it rises and meets the building.
As it is partly open, it leaves the vegetation to be perceived from
"Louis Braille street" and from the housing building's yard behind.
The coating colours clearly define a building's inside and a
building's outside, using a warm colour inside and a more neutral
colour outside. The environmental approach is expressed in: Heat
recovery ventilation; Exterior wall insulation; Good thermal
inertia; Heat pump; Floor heating; Solventless paint; Materials
with a low grey energy; Very High Energy Performance label.

Leisure center "Curial"
Address
rue Curial 90
75019 Paris
France
.
"A bunch of colours in the middle of grey towers" The
modernization of Curial center is an answer to the problems
caused by the integration of existing buildings in urban spaces
generated by the enclosing of housing buildings. With a work of
conversion and distortion, the front is fully re-modelled and
offers a game of colours and forms. In that way, the building
bring some offbeat in a neighbourhood suffering from a severe
texture. The environmental approach is expressed in: Heat
recovery ventilation; Controlled consumption; Materials with low
grey energy; Solventless paint.

CATTP Art therapy
Address
rue de Thionville 14
75019 Paris
France
.
In a former industrial warehouse supported by recent concrete
posts, the goal was to build one of the most friendly and open
space. A place in which everyone could express their trust in a
calm living atmosphere, protected from the daily urban life
violence. In order to succeed doing this, the architect offered to
make a big double height interior space focused on a green patio.
This place is spatially connected with the outside but visually
hidden from it. It is thus easy to enter the building, as you feel
attracted when you're in the street and the visual protection
provides you the needed privacy.

Social Housing Rue Marcadet
Address
Rue Marcadet 1-3
75018 Paris
France
.
The building inserts itself into the îlot (block), originally meant to
be demolished (îlot insalubre) in its whole. The design preserves
the identity and picturesque character of the block. The 70
apartments form an urban band that runs around the Rue
Ordener and the Rue Marcadet. It surrounds the existing (and
renovated) building on the Rue Émile-Duployé, where it
decomposes to allow a view on the inner court garden. The
architects have addressed the new thermal insulation regulations
and placed solar panels on the rooftops. The façades are
animated by the composition of small and large windows in a free
pattern. On certain points they extrude from the building in
bright green, on other case they are embodied within the soft
grey aluminium skin.
