Other Projects by Ricardo Bofill Taller de Arquitectura
Belvedere Saint Christophe
Pontoise, France
The Belvedere St. Christophe is the sublimation of years of research and
innovation in the social housing sector. The units have become
perfectly efficient functional layouts with double orientation to
optimize sun exposure, cross-ventilation and view variation. The
elements are geometrically assembled with a classical theatrical
opulence that evokes the magical sacralization of a democratic urban
space built with government subsidies. The grandiosity of the main
colonnade inspired by the work of Gian Lorenzo Bernini, reflects a stunning classical sense of balance, harmony and human proportion; the
scale moves rapidly from the individual to the collective in a grandiose
civil landmark. The horizontal axis are perfectly choreographed to
bring the pedestrian into the plaza. Then, a major monolith –the public
Belvedere by Dany Caravan- leads the way to the river Loise. The
monumental character of the plaza has turned it into a meeting place for
the residents and the venue for all kinds of recreational activities.
The programme includes three hundred eighty apartments and commercial establishments.
Program 380 apartments and commercial establishments.
Ingineering: Yves Serra
Concrete: J. P. Aury
