View Full Version : Sleeping Beauty... "Paris and its architecture"...

Paris known as a sleeping beauty, does never assume its contemporaryness. Even if it offers masterpieces of architecture and major reflexions, there is still a gap between what we do and what we show. Paris is one of those rare places where Le Corbusier can meet Franck Gehry, Guimard; Jean Nouvel, Rogers; Pei.
Let me propose some exemples which make me love Paris as an exciting place for architecture and I hope showing my photographical work you'll share my passion.

Je t'ai mis quelques photos du musée du quai Branly et te renvoie au thread que j'avais crée il y a un moment. Etant interdit de photographier l'intérieur, je n'ai malheureusement rien à te proposer.
Pour le fouquets je n'ai pas beaucoup de photos.

Paris and its industrial heritage.

As El Greco wanted, I prepared those photos set to show you Paris and its industrial heritage.
Paris does not offer masterpieces of industrial architecture as London, Hamburg ... do.
In city centre, there is some workshops and warehouses mixing steel and stone. Outside Paris, many factories, gasometres,... were razed. Today the main surviving objects are preserved and refurbished being some new attractions : EDF factorie will host the new "cité du cinéma", les Magasins Généraux (warehouse on the Seine River, near to Bibliothèque François Mitterrand) the new Design and Fashion Museum, Halle Freyssinet a new tribunal, SUDAC is now a National School of Architecture...

http://www.plainecommune.fr/gallery_images/site_1/18/139/1781/pleyel_site_amenage2_b.jpg

http://mapage.noos.fr/jmac/docks20.jpg

IMO the most interesting pieces regarding industrial heritage are bridges.

I'll try to do further another set of pictures. I'm sorry but I haven't enought pictures of this king of architecture.

You can see the EDF power plant when you take the RER C towards Ermont-Eaubonne. The environment around doesn't look inviting at all, it seems to be a real wasteland...I hope they will create a real neighborhood near the future Cité du Cinéma.
As for the architecture of the building itself, what I can see from the RER is not enough to form an opinion. I should make the effort to go to the place...I found a link with some pictures of the power plant, mainly from the inside: http://wallace.morkitu.org/thumbnail.php?album=32
It does look interesting. Unfortunately there are only 2 photos from the outside.

Garden and its "Folies" by Tschumi (according to the philosophy of Derrida) - 1982/95. Those realisations are one of the first deconstructivist building.

Ce sont les photos 11 à 17, le Castel Beranger.

Les autres façades sont signées Lavirotte, Perret...et d'autres qui ne me reviennent pas...
Et il faut souligner l'apport majeur de Bigot, céramiste, auteur des ornements (autant dire même des façades!). Toutes les céramiques présentes sur les photos sont à son actif! Y compris les motifs floraux de l'immeuble des frères Perret avenue Franklin (photo 4)

Sais-tu si ce genre de fenêtres (l'escalier je présume) sont une des caractéristiques du mouvement Art Nouveau ? Tant au niveau de la forme voutée que de la brique dessinant des formes géométriques au milieu de la pierre. Je te pose la question car j'ai vu beaucoup de fenêtres identiques dans la région de Clermont-Ferrand, sur des immeubles des années 25-35 justement.

Few days ago I wanted to enjoy again of the sensual forms of Guimard's architecture. Many buildings of the french master of Art Nouveau take place in the XVIe arrondissement in Auteuil.
A short walk from Avenue Mozart to Rue Boileau teach a lot about the origin of modernism. The quarter offers historical eclectism of XIX century as well as many avant-garde from Art Nouveau to Art Deco and Modernism.

http://irgendwo.free.fr/mozart/29.jpg

An interesting shot showing the evolution of Guimard's art. Both buildings are signed by Guimard. First one was erected in 1912, the second on in 1926. This is illustrating how brutal was the end of Art Nouveau in Paris.
http://irgendwo.free.fr/mozart/32.jpg

Another exemple of Art Nouveau by Ernest Herscher
http://irgendwo.free.fr/mozart/17.jpg


Immeuble Jassedé, avenue de Versailles Guimard. 1903
At the beginning of the XXth century, Auteuil is changing. Many buildings are erected. The styl is often historical. The Immeuble Jassedé make the difference. It wear all the programmatic of Art Nouveau seen by Guimard.
http://irgendwo.free.fr/mozart/20.jpg

http://irgendwo.free.fr/mozart/21.jpg

http://irgendwo.free.fr/mozart/22.jpg


Hotel Danois - Audiger et Richard - 1907
An architectural hybridization between Art Nouveau and Orientalism.
http://irgendwo.free.fr/mozart/18.jpg

http://irgendwo.free.fr/mozart/19.jpg


Immeuble de Guimard - Rue Henri Heine - 1926
One of the last Guimard's building. Intempting to follow the Art Deco experiment, Guimard is hesitating. We can find on this façade trial and error. Some kind of neo-gothic reinterpreted, technical experimentation, art deco geometry... and still some Art Nouveau reflex.

http://irgendwo.free.fr/mozart/25.jpg

Finally...
Studio Building - Henri Sauvage - 1926
Moderism is born. This building wanted to look like artist workshop but it is in fact a prestigious apartment house.
Walking by the street, we can find the building quite uninteresting, probably build in the 80's. But being erected in 1926, it had played a role in the thinking of Modernism in Paris.
We can touch here the hesitation of the architecture between the nudity of geometry, asked by modernism, and ornament. Henri Sauvage find a curious way to wear the façade with this colorful ceramic.

http://irgendwo.free.fr/mozart/16.jpg

http://irgendwo.free.fr/mozart/34.jpg

Those buildings are not the most famous of this area, but they are quite interesting for who is regarding the thinking of modernism its roots and its evolution.

Fantastic thread, I love the different architectures you are showing here. I have been two times to Paris and I have the most touristic views in my mind that are the responsible, for its grey-beige tones that Paris architecture is rather homogenic, but not. I know that I had little time to enjoy and explore Paris as I would have liked

Thank you for the amazing shots, it helps to seize the architectural diversity of Paris, which is not that remarkable from street level. At last you took pictures of cité universitaire ! :banana:

In the XVIIth arrondissement an Art Deco area was developed along the ring road.

I'm surprised that you don't know this place. Nowadays, it's the "Musée national du Moyen Âge".

On appréciera encore mieux l'hotel Wagram quand les immondes pancartes devant auront disparu.
Sinon j'aime particulièrement celle-ci :

C'est la cata archimonde! Tu reconnais pas beaubourg et tu ne connais pas Cluny! ;)
Pourquoi Sleeping... (d'ailleurs c'est plutôt sleeping thread... je devrais me lancer dans la photo de trous)...c'était juste une provocation à deux balles...

archimonde
March 3rd, 2009, 02:31 PM
Non, c'est pas la cata c'est la vérité. Et pour être sincère, non, je ne connais pas Cluny, je suis censée connaître cet endroit? Parceque c'est un musée? et du moyen-âge en plus.
(Il me faut beaucoup d'heures de marches pour découvrir tout à Paris et ces heures pour le moment, je ne les ai que rarement et je les passe à découvrir les rues de la ville, plus que ses monuments.)

@Alvar Lavague
Merci pour l'emplacement. :)

March 3rd, 2009, 02:54 PM
Excuse moi Archimonde, je te taquinais! Ne t'emporte pas ;) Si je connaissais l'hôtel, j'ai moi même découvert il y a peu l'existence de la chapelle...tu vois!

archimonde
March 3rd, 2009, 03:10 PM
Je ne m'emporte pas (j'ai juste oublié quelques smileys), si un peu, tu peux me taquiner tant que tu veux. ;)
Et Beaubourg je connais bien mais sans les sapins rouges.
Et ce Cluny je ne vais plus l'oublier pour autant. :)

Sinon, elles sont neuves les photos de la Grande Arche? Ou encore une fois j'ai loupé quelques chose?

Ça vaut le coup d'aller à Cluny non seulement pour l'hôtel de Cluny et le musée du Moyen-Age mais aussi pour les ruines des thermes romains et les impressionnante voutes du Frigidarium.;)

Good
March 3rd, 2009, 11:11 PM
Thanks for these pictures of Hôtel de Cluny's chapel, I didn't know it either! Archimonde you should visit this building:
- the museum hosts which is maybe the most famous tapestry in the world, the Lady with the Unicorn (la Dame à la Licorne),
- it's one of the most interesting medieval private mansion in Paris ; Melville, the American writer, talks about it in Moby Dick, he was fascinated by the building
- you can see the therms, the most significant Roman ruins in Paris.

Now we are waiting for some photos of Conservatoire des Arts et Métiers' chapel as well :)
