What is the future of Paris ? That ’s a subject field presently under treatment by architects and French PresidentNicolas Sarkozy , who want to make a “ Grand Paris ” even if it includes redrawing the mathematical function altogether .
Sarkozy ’s program , in the Bible of the UK Guardian is
not to reshape Paris , but rather to put out its constitutional smasher to its outskirts , les banlieues – a web of small villages , some atrociously sublime and voguish ( Neuilly , Versailles , Saint Mandé , Vincennes , Saint Germain - nut - Laye ) , others low and provincial - look ( Montreuil , Pantin , Malakoff , Montrouge , Saint Gervais ) and others still , socially ravaged and architecturally dehumanised ( La Courneuve , Clichy - sous - bois ) . And also to link them .
The various architect call for to present solutions to the brief this week approached the consequence in different way , but we find ourselves drawn toAntoine Grumbach‘s idea to make the “ Grand Paris ” along the banking company of the Seine … but maybe that ’s just because we make out his nightvision - epitome of how everything would look .
