photo: Nazar Leskiw photo: LISA RICCIOTTI Islam Arts Department Musée du Louvre 1 75001 Paris The idea of covering the Cour Visconti with a glass roof would hark back to a nineteenth-century concept for a space that, until today, has looked at the sky We proposed the creation of a sail-like glass and metal canopy set back from the historic facades on all sides, floating over the galleries like golden, iridescent cloud that filters daylight A two layered metallic mesh (gold outside, silver inside) envelopes a system of waterproof glass panels and the "cloud" structure, a free-form double lattice system of round steel tubes, thicker where it is fitted to the load-bearing columns and thinner at the edges The interior mesh, lined with a honeycomb panel, serves as the ceiling for the galleries The 3D geometry of this skin required extensive computer modelling, to determine the positions and inclination angle for each of the triangles panels 9-2012 Main designer, Rudy Ricciotti Mario Bellini s Nazar photo: Nazar Leskiw http://wwwmimoaeu/users/sexycovrigel/guides/paris/ 19
photo: photo: Villiot-Rapée Apartments Rue Villiot 19 75012 Paris The project embraces new concepts of living together primarily based on generous outdoor spaces, both private (balconies) and communal (floor area), as well as on an extrapolation of the advantages of detached houses, which have now disappeared forever from Paris - having one's own floor space and thus being rooted in the soil The starting point of the project, the ground, accompanies and moulds itself to the natural level, twists and transforms itself, hosts different disciplines, guides and accompanies residents, visitors and passers-by - and makes it into a home Each level and each flat has a different floor lending itself to different practices and uses Rather than being like a balcony, a loggia (or a terrace), which can be seen and used on a daily basis, winds its way around the outside of the flats and gives residents the feeling that they live outdoors This 'poured garden' creates close ties to the building's external environment photo: Sergio Grazia 2011 Hamonic + Masson Nazar http://wwwmimoaeu/users/sexycovrigel/guides/paris/ 20
