'paris Is Full Of Huge Canyons'

摘要

Last week, Rogers Stirk Harbour + Partners (RSH+P) unveiled its vision for a 'Grand Paris' of 2030 to French president Nicolas Sarkozy. RSH+P was the only UK firm invited to create a new masterp-lan for the capital, alongside six French architects including Jean Nouvel, Yves Lion, Christian de Portzamparc, Antoine Grumbach, Roland Castro and l'AUC, plus Dutch practice MVRDV, Germany's LIN and Italy's Studio 09. Mike Davies, project director with RSH+P, told the AJ that the firm's masterplan aims to eliminate the glaring segregation that exists in Paris. 'There is an extraordinary lack of connectivity between the heart of Paris and the suburbs,' said Davies. 'The administrative areas are completely separate.'
