Description:
Project described by Christian de Bonnefoi, Encyclopaedia Universalis 2000 in Journal de l'Atelier d'Architecture (USTO) as follows: "En 1927-1928, il élabore une série de projets utopiques pour le bord de la Seine. [...] Un projet pour un "immeuble à habitations et garage" qui pouvait être édifié sur un terrain vaste de 32 000 mètres carrés comprenait six cents appartements, un garage pour quatre mille voitures, quatre salles de tennis, un restaurant et une piscine. Ces projets représentent de vastes organismes urbains où la typologie pyramidale est envisagée à très grande échelle. Ces formes englobantes abritent des équipements qui transforment la ville en cité futuriste...".

Starting From... The Bubble
Starting From... The Bubble
Actions:
Description:
The bubble is a wonder of surface tension. In its architectural interpretation, the bubble can be understood as a feat of engineering or as a metaphor for an enclosed hermetic environment. As such, the bubble emerges, in the architect Cedric Price’s words, “in any shape or any size” as a powerful symbol of the future, or becomes synonymous with the condition of isolation(...)

They are bound spaces, where intersecting borders establish semi-stable relations between polities and their material base of operations.
