EARTH HOUSING TOWER, PARIS
International competition 2015.
2nd prize finalist project
Eco-responsability : earth tower from recycled parisian rubble
We propose that Paris can (re)build itself a different imaginary. We propose that the Parisians rediscover a relationship to the environment that has seen the emergence of their culture, even multiform; a relationship to the soil, the stone, the earth, the wood, the wind, the rain, the seasons, the organic, the living world. We propose to reinvent the matters of Paris from the natural resources available under our feet. We propose to reinvent Paris in earth.
