Not knowing how to kick-off research into environmental French architecture I thought that I’d start with this notorious pair, Françoise-Hélène Jourda and Gilles Perraudin. There’s an brief article by Jourda on his website speaking on the problems facing environmental architecture.
They designed the station de métro parilly which I like. What’s hard to get from the pictures is to see the structural intricacies. What really impressed me is the patterns created from the ‘branches’ of the four ‘trees’ which form a repeating pattern.
is it a tree, is it a column, no it's brilliant architecture
