法国国家图书馆,巴黎,法国

National Library of France,Paris,France,1995

一个为巴黎而建的广场,一座为法国而建的图书馆这座图书馆是一座缘起之地,而不是一半寺庙一半超市的庞然巨物——请参考巴黎东区。图书馆的所在地位于塞纳河沿岸,是协和广场、战神广场和荣誉军人院等一系列连续场地中的一块。塞纳河沿岸的场地,是区域活化的决定性因素。第十三区的山岗朝向塞纳河,身后是Porte de Choisy和Porte d＇Ivry大厦。法国国家图书馆无私地用自己的影响力和光彩推动了区域性保护与复兴。

Comments HU Heng： The editor has briefed me that the reason why this project is fitted into the special issue of ＂Parapet＂ is due to its concept of ＂deparapet＂. This allows me to review such a building that I have known about for a long time from a new angle. In effect, the parapets of this architecture do exist and it is merely a new approach, using planes and masses of building design, instead of the common practice, metal bars and glass walls. Such a method has also been applied to its escalator rails.
