Escalator Shaft, Paris Transit Interior

4 October 2017 · Paris

Two escalators rise toward a slatted ceiling in a Paris transit hub, the low-angle frame pulling every line toward a single vanishing point. The louvred canopy above reads almost geological — parallel ridges cut at angles that make the structure feel both engineered and elemental. Functional architecture built for volume and throughput; this frame finds the geometry that was always there.
