MODERNITY OPPOSED TO CLASSICISM

Here, the building of a famous cars French constructor on the Champs Elysées; Very futurist, and unusual in this area because most of the facades are preserved, sober and lined up. This new place is called C42

An architecture contest won by Manuelle Gondrand in 2002 for this wonderful realization.



Le batiment d'une des célèbres marques de constructeur Français de voitures sur les champs.

Le concours d'architecture a été gagné par Manuelle Gondrand en 2002 pour cette magnifique réalisation appelée le C42.




The brand is symbolized by 2 chevrons, the window shop "reflects " it.
By night.

  5. It looks like I got behind in my blog reading. Wow! That building is truly one of a kind! It is kind of cool at night, but I do like the old buildings, and would hate to see more replaced with something like that.
