This is my final project from university. It was designed and presented there in spring 2012, and was afterwards featured in the 2012 venice biennale.

​

The task was to design a scyscraper for housing in the "Front de Seine" area in Paris. That district is a 1970s urban planning project and is now struggling with the typical problems of the radical approaches of that time.

​

The project therefore had to deal with two issues aside from the difficulties of creating living space for hundreds of people:

     - How can we embed highrises in historical european cities?
     - How can we transform 1970s urban planning into the 21st century?

​

The answer I am trying to give lies in creating a house that is composed of several layers, to react to the individual tasks, which are most influential.
