Ungrid (2018)




Ungrid (2018)

INSEP, PARIS

The pattern that is to cover the elevator wall and the sawtooth light wells of the Letessier building is inspired by the geometric rigor of the architecture. In line with the spirit of the restoration of this 1960s construction, the modernist grid is “destructured” to embrace today’s preference in architecture for the asymmetrical. Its proliferating aspect softens the building’s hard edges.

 

Replacement project for incomplete commission from 2008. Wall panels: delivered November 2018. Light wells: November 2019.
