The Cité du Théâtre, a new large cultural center in Paris, France by Nieto Sobejano ArquitectosThursday, October 8th, 2020Article source: Nieto Sobejano Arquitectos The project of the Cité du théâtre in Paris arises as an invitation to participate, share and debate. Its aim is to create new scenic spaces for three prestigious Institutions in the world of theater at the Ateliers Berthier, built in 1895 by Charles Garnier, architect of the Paris Opera: the Comédie-Française, the Conservatoire National Supérieur d’Art Dramatique (CNSAD) and the Théâtre National de I’Odéon- Théâtre de l’Europe. The project proposes a large raised garden that provides visual continuity with the Martin Luther King Park located on Boulevard Berthier. This garden, conceived as a great urban setting, accentuates the prominence of the Garnier buildings, which will be restored respecting their structure and materiality.

Maison de l’Ordre des Avocats in Paris, France by RENZO PIANO BUILDING WORKSHOPFriday, September 11th, 2020Article source: RENZO PIANO BUILDING WORKSHOP The Maison de l’Ordre des Avocats (MOdA, the headquarters of the Paris Bar Association), is an integral part of the new Cité Judiciaire, a group of buildings dedicated to the legal profession, currently under construction in Paris’s 17th arrondissement. Symbolically transparent, the life of the building, its activity and its comings and goings, will be clearly visible through its facade. The MOdA is sited so that its building fits with and references the much larger Palais de Justice (law courts) building, while standing proudly independent from it, a clear entity in its own right. Structurally sophisticated to deal with a site that sits on top of the Metro, it is also an important part of the new public urban spaces being generated here that will invigorate this neighbourhood.

Saint-Denis Apartment in Paris, France by JCPCDR ARCHITECTUREThursday, February 27th, 2020Article source: JCPCDR ARCHITECTURE Located in one of the most desirable and picturesque districts of Paris, this cosy, one bedroom 75m2 flat embodied most of the challenges commonly encountered in parisian elder buildings. Although daylight pours from windows on both ends, the apartment’s core seemed to stretch along a dark and rather narrow corridor. The new owner’s desire to make it a two-bedrooms was the perfect opportunity to give it a full fresh and comfortable refurbishment.  Image Courtesy © David Foessel
Law Faculty Université in Paris, France by ChartierDalix architectesTuesday, February 25th, 2020Article source: ChartierDalix architectes Building a city on a city” has long been the standard approach to urban renewal. Our modernityhas largely ignored and further complicated this practice that is now coming back all the more strongly due to the economic realities of construction being challenged by the severity of environmental issues. Rehabilitating and preserving existing buildings, even over and above considerations of heritage, is becoming a viable means of saving energy and sobriety, a source of reusable materials and a great opportunity to discover new uses resulting from conversion. Entering a building with its past life and its history, its previous uses, means imagining new stories to tell based on older tales and the richness of their promise. That is why we like to use the term “Metamorphosis” rather than rehabilitation: for us, it means building on the old to create something new and richer still than what might have been preserved.

Grand Paris Express metro station in France by atelier d’architecture King KongThursday, February 20th, 2020Article source: atelier d’architecture King Kong Public debate back in 2010-11 concerning the question of the Grand Paris public transport network shed light on the full importance of the role metro stations are to play in the future Grand Paris, not only for urban transport companies, but also investors, regional decision-makers and passengers. The stations must be designed in such a way as to both accompany and sustain the ambitions of the Grand Paris public transport network and a new generation of metro stations is to be developed, to meet the differing needs of the diverse areas and localities of the Île-de-France Region.
