THE PODSPLUG-IN-PARIS

BIRD'S EYE VIEW

CONTEXT :

We chose the city of Paris, as a starting point for thisproject of The City Above The City, particularly the 13thdistrict on the Left side of the Seine.Little touristy, it presents an original urban planning inthe capital from a development plan in the late sixtiesto demolish the workers' districts consideredunhealthy and build on 87 hectares many towers andapartment buildings in the spirit of the Charter ofAthens of Le Corbusier.Unfortunately, fty years later, the area suffers fromunattractive architectural image.We found an interest in this site and especially for thisbuilding that has already been an intervention fromCalifornian artist Shepard Fairey realizing a giganticgraph Rise Above Rebel on 40 meters high, visible atthe corner of Auriol boulevard and Jeanne d'Arcstreet.

THE PROJECT :

As a follow of this artwork, we propose to requalifythe building, capping the roof by building woodenhousing made on a surface of 82m long by 16.5mwide.Beyond the idea of building wood on the principlesset by the program of the competition, which weshare with great enthusiasm, we envisage a conceptof modular and transportable construction !Referring to the work of Peter Cook of Archigramgroup on the project Plug-in-City.

The project is based on the design of three basicmodules : Pod1 (5x5x3,2m) ; Pod2 (10x5x3,2m) ;Pod3 (15x5x3,2m).On the basis of a 5x5m frame, the draft is freelycomposed by the assembly and stacking of pods, sucha construction Lego or Kapla®.Thus, the architecture is made up of solids and voids.This gives urban spaces such as streets, terraces andviews over the city of Paris.The arrangement of the Pods is organized in order toaccess to each apartment are accessibleindependently, with views and a private terraces orgardens. Together they form a residential area on theroofs of Paris ! An important place is left to thevegetation in the gaps left between the Pods.

The entire project consists of 40 units including 14Pods1 (studio-21sqm apartments), 15 Pods2 (45 sqmapartments) and 11 Pods3 (68 sqm apartments).Each of the pods is brought to the site portion of 2.5mwide (half) to be so transportable on trucks. They arehoisted by crane from the roof and assembled on site.

Elevators and stairs of the building are extended roof.A circulation light steel structure built allows toconnect all the apartments.

MATERIALS :

The Pods are composed entirely of wooden structure.For this project, we use different elements ofMetsäWood®.- The oors and roofs are insulated Ripa Kerto®-360mm- The walls are wood frame with 240mm elements ofFinnJoist- The walls are Kerto®-T LVL wall studs

All Pods are covered with wood siding with 3 shadesof grey corresponding to lengths of 3 Pods.

Using Kerto®-Ripa helps make each independent celland thus to lead the project through contemporaryarchitecture with strong expression, marked by asuccession of cantilever and accessible terraces.
