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.

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.

Rue des Suisses
Address
Rue des Suisses 17
75014 Paris
France
http://17ruedessuisses.mirrorz.com/
.
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.

Atelier Brancusi
Address
Place Georges-Pompidou 1
75004 Paris
France
.
Constantin Brancusi arrived in Paris in 1904 after attending the
Bucharest School of Fine Arts. He created the majority of his
works in his Paris studios. Shortly before he died, he bequeathed
his studio and all its contents to the French government on
condition that the Musée National d'Art Moderne reconstitute the
studio as it had been in its original location near Montparnasse.
Architect Renzo Piano reproduced Brancusi's studio on one side of
the Place Georges Pompidou, next to the eponymous Centre. The
layout of the studio has been reconstituted down to the last
detail with Brancusi's sculptures, photographs, manuals, discs and
tools to satisfy the artist's wish to have his work displayed in its
entirety.
