A PUBLIC SPACE
Centre G. Pompidou - Paris
This building was realized in 1977 and it has become a symbol of the
city despite the numerous criticisms. Years later, the Parisians (and
not only them) have started to know and appreciate it. Currently it
hosts a public library and it guards a collection of around 70.000 art
works, including design, architecture, photography and visual arts.
The most interesting thing is the dialogue that the building has with
the city. It is concretized in the great place ahead, apprently empty but
actually always experienced by people sat to read a book, going for a
walk or temporary installations and street artists. The place results the
central point of the dialectical connection that the centre has with the
facing buildings, typical Parisian architectures of 19th century.

A STREET
Passerelle Simone de Beauvoir - Paris
This case doesn’t represent a street in the traditional sense of the term,
since it doesn’t allow cars transition. It is more about a path dedicated
to the slow mobility like pedestrians or bikes, linking two points of the
city and crossing the Seine river’s course. The idea that is behind this
“passerelle” is that of taking back of the elements that constitutes the
city. Infact the faculty to choose the higher run that dominates the old
city or the lower run that goes looking for the water element, is left to
the people who cross the path. And the most interesting thing is that at
the intersection among the two curves of the passerelle, a public space
is generated in the form of a stretched which transforms, at the end, a
street from place of passage to a place of life.

A DISTRICT
Les Olympiades - Paris
Les Olympiades is a district of residential towers located in the 13th
arrondissement of Paris. Built from 1969 to 1974, it consists of a dozen
towers built along a huge esplanade, elevated eight metres from the
ground, that is dedicated to pedestrians. A shopping mall stands at the
centre of the esplanade. Below there are streets dedicated to vehicular
traffic. Les Olympiades were built with the aspiration that a population
of young professionals would be attracted to this very modern complex
offering multiple services (education, sports, etc.), a plan known and
later criticized as Italie 13. From 1975 its southern end began to attract
Vietnamese and then Chinese residents, who also populated the main
Chinatown in Paris around the southern end of the complex.
