Folie R4 — Parc de la Villette, Paris
4 October 2017 · Paris
Folie R4 stands as a red steel grid against a clouded Paris sky, its deconstructivist framework more labyrinth than landmark. Bernard Tschumi designed the Parc de la Villette folies as architectural objects without a fixed purpose — structures that mean what you bring to them. Seen from below and at an angle, the inner framework multiplies: horizontal beams cross diagonal cables, and the sky fills every cell differently. The geometry is rigid; the reading of it keeps shifting.
