Résidence Planchette in Paris, France by AZC ArchitectesWednesday, August 31st, 2016Article source: AZC Architectes An urban health center, for the autonomy and involvement of people with disabilities in the city of Paris. This project provides sheltered housing for frail, elderly residents with a variety of disabilities. The building comprises individual studio apartments, communal areas and medical consultation rooms for residents and out-patients. To understand the project one must understand the history of the site at 232 Rue de Charenton in south-eastern Paris, along the side of which runs a passage that can be found on city plans as far back as 1789, at which time it led to cultivated fields. Fraught with real-estate related tension due to the complex planning laws in Paris and the Bercy neighbourhood, the project took seven years to see the light of day.  Image Courtesy © AZC Architectes

MÉNAGE À TROIS in Paris, France by Tomas Ghisellini ArchitettiSunday, August 7th, 2016Article source: Tomas Ghisellini Architetti The new (rediscovered) wings of the Hôtel de Galliffet Mirror reflection: strategy of lightness The new architectural wings of the Hôtel de Galliffet will be enigmatic and surprising appearances. Logics of composition, materials and formal repertoire push the architectural bodies towards an expressive vocabulary for which the terms of lightness and permeability prevail. The strategy of inclusion aims to give the new buildings a kind of perceptive dematerialization; this way proceeding the partial clogging of the courts will assume a character of agreement and co-operation rather than imposition.

Pompidou Metz restaurant extension in France by studiolada architectesWednesday, August 3rd, 2016Article source: studiolada architectes Finished in 2010, the Pompidou Metz center imagined by Shigeru Ban quickly became an architectural icon not only for the city of Metz, but also for the region and even the country. Given the important number of visitors to the Museum and the restaurant, the need for more inside eating space on the terrace soon became apparent. However, the idea of intervening on an existing building does not come without important implications regarding architectural integrity ― the intervention will indeed modify the façaces and volumes of the existing structure.

Entrepot Macdonald in Paris, France by Kengo Kuma and AssociatesSaturday, July 30th, 2016Article source: Kengo Kuma and Associates Macdonald had been a gigantic distribution center since the 1970s, located at Macdonald Street in Paris. OMA was the master planner of the project and their proposal was rather distinctive. They preserved the old two-storied building (which extends as long as 500m), and asked 5 other architects to work on newly added programs. We were responsible for the western part of the building, and designed facilities for a junior and senior high schools, and local sports center.  Image Courtesy © Guillaume Satre
