Paris war ja schon oft der Vorreiter im Staedtebau, Haussmann war nur einer von denen, die sich im Stadtbild verewigt haben. Ausgegangen sind diese groben Veraenderungen des Stadtraums immer von einer Vision - und sei es nur die Vision den Aufstand der Unterschicht zu unterbinden. Nun koenne 10 Architekturbueros ihre Vision von einem Paris der Zukunft im Musee de la Cite praesentieren. Da sollte man fast mal nach Paris reisen…

Our design strategy begins with the articulation of the landscape in a system of terraces bound by measurement. All edges are vectors that have an origin, direction and magnitude. As such, they can be used to process a third vector that is a cross-product. The derived verticals are not only markers of mathematical models but are here used as a design tool.

All week, rumours have been flying around the internet that DR had gone out of business. CR can confirm that it is true.

It also has great views of the surrounding countryside. So, if it’s so environmental, why does the home have a glass garage that draws the focus to an antiquated form of energy consumption? Because the car in that particular garage is a 1974 Porsche Targa, the homeowner’s pride and joy. Via.
