“Conciliatory and reassuring, it is inserted with calm in the landscape. You places on the bill, it folds up him to the wish of the site and the near buildings, it clarifies the relationships of the elements that compose it.” AF
The site is demanding and the context is specific and notable. The breadth bundle of strong roads imbues the space of its presence. It dominates him/it and he/she confers him the identity made of metal, of astute lines from top to fund. The project has the tendency to preserve the original energy of the place and curtains to establish a strong relationship with the context. Conciliatory and reassuring, it is inserted with calm in the landscape. You places on the bill, it folds up him to the wish of the site and the near buildings, it clarifies the relationships of the elements that compose him/it. It turns the obligations into strong points of the project.
The sights of the rails are noisy and ax, but they offer a very rare good to Paris: the opening toward the sky, the perception of a horizon. The building with its form to L doesn’t stop the landscape, but contrarily it leans out verse of him.
