| The building is located in one of the most elegant districts of Paris, a few steps from the Champs Elysées. A formal solution was required by the city’s authorities, while Mazzucconi could make himself free from such an imposition with an extraordinary coup, breaking all rules. Guided by his love for a small house being demolished on the site, the architect invented a dramatic rapport between tradition and a new harmony, between the past and future, material and spiritual. Thus the building’s exterior was transformed into a face, the voice of a soul, as if giving new life to the primitive identity of Lutetia, antique Paris. | ||
