Following the November 2014 announcement by Mayor Anne Hidalgo and her Deputy Mayor in charge of urban planning, Jean-Louis Missika, to solicit ideas for 23 urban sites in Paris, the winning proposals have been revealed.
As we reported previously, the open international contest Reinventing Paris aims "to select and implement the new forms of buildings that will shape the future of Paris." Winning designers include David Chipperfield, Jacques Ferrier, Sou Fujimoto and X-TU Architects. Here we highlight some of the more interesting proposals, though the full list, with renderings, can be found on the Reinventing Paris website.
