This project is one of the most intense and least understood
of those proposed by Mazzucconi for Paris. Its coordinates are multiple:
the presence of history, with the evocation of stones from the destroyed
fortress (in the project turned into glass-covered blocks); the dialogue
with the Colonne de Juillet and its monument, true genius loci;
the integration of old houses of Rue de Charenton; the conservation of the
viaduct arches to create an elevated passageway; the walkway passing over
Rue de Lyon to connect the new theatre with the lively area along the Arsenal
basin, ecc. As a whole, there is an extremely strong rapport between the history of the district, the functional complexity of the proposed theme and a modernity that breaks away from tradition. The form of the Ark, which summarizes this relationship in its message, is once again proposed for Paris, but this time as an ark-ship in the dockyard, ready to set sail for other shores. |
