PARIS 2e

"Infotainment? What the hell are you talking about?"


URBANIZED PARIS UTOPIAS?

LOVE THE MASTER PLAN!

Enjoy a collection of urban "what if's", by french artist Florent Morellet. The river situation is constantly the Paris one, yet it is being transferred into different locations each time.
A very interesting concept. There are more maps like these to follow!


WHAT IF PARIS WAS SITUATED IN CHINA?


WHAT IF PARIS WAS SITUATED ON THE EQUATOR?

WHAT IF PARIS WAS SITUATED IN THE MIDDLE EAST?


WHAT IF PARIS SURVIVED WORLD WAR III AND WAS DIVIDED BY A WALL INTO HAVES AND HAVE-NOTS?
This last one is quite interesting because it shows the already present differences in Paris; a rich West side and a poorer or more popular East side.

    I am Cedric, discoverer of things that would go unnoticed in the streets of Paris, historic haven of fashionistas and city of lights ('lights' as in 'enlightenment', not street lights).
    But seriously: I'm an expat from Luxembourg (the country, not the garden), living in the center of Paris (hence 'Paris 2nd arrondissement'), and currenlty studying architectural history...
