Conical Intersect

1975, 27-29 Rue Beaubourg, Paris

Were two modest town houses built in 1699 for Mr and Mrs Leiseville as what appeared “his and hers” domiciles. Conceived as a non-monumental counterpoint to the grandiose backdrop of the Centre Pompidou, the shape is a truncated cone whose central axis is aproximately  45º with the street below and whose base forms an opening of four meters in diameter with the north wall of these buildings. For two plaster dusty weeks as the façade, floors and walls were being chiseled away, the activity created its own “amphi-theatrical” performance space fully visible to the passersby.
