This project was designed for one of these fake competitions which are unfortunately one the signs of France's illness. The subject was great. It still is 10 years later. (see the winner below).Live in one of the hottest spots of ParisOne of the hottest
urban spots of Paris, the clashing point between the Haussmann period fabric,
the 1960s boulevards brutality, and, beyond the peripephique and the 1960s
propyleus, the immense suburb and the Desert of the Tartarians.
To inhabit this
foothold, where is concentrated a mind blowing energy, is a unique experience.
It amounts to inhabit a masterpiece that feeds your soul, to slide over all the
world s strengths.
What is a domestic
life in such a location? Can it be once again the bourgeois standard?
No, it is time to go
beyond, and build for the next generations, for singles, reconstructed families, web 2.0 regulars, nomadic workers, etc...
We are going to
unfold a shell and live in it. The petals of the shell guarantee the intimacy
and quietness of the private areas, shelter a common volume, while offering a powerful urban situation.
The apartments lay
from Boulevard balcony to inner space. They are given with all finishings, but you have to
invent the life you want to live. They do
not impose a way of life. Like a software that gives you any
possibility but does not write the story for you. They can be reset
indefinitely and easily, even several times a day. The plan allows many room layouts,
according to everyone s feelings.
The space is filled up with
pre-installed immaterial qualities and the technical blocks
(and basic cupboards) are the only fixed points. This a quasi furniture-free system. The main facade,
rising over a base, is like a frame, built to display the inhabitants personal
settings, through metal sliding blades, without spoiling the coherence of the
architecture.
