I was politely asked to do some graphical work. It's not exactly my pair of shoes, but lets try. The point is, that the idea was quite funny an interesting, for it was not the standard "Go Team Go" Banner, but it was actually a guide for a choreography the public should do while the supporting band plays a new song.
For the few of you waiting to see the final publication of my memorandum and diploma works, please have some more patience. I am for the moment doing a new presentation including images and documents to the text. This new book-form will be more pleasant to read and understand.
Now that some friends, who have no initial knowledge on urbanism and architectural theories, have read my thesis, and actually understood and apreciated it, I felt some motivation to do something about the academical presentation, which I think is complete nonsense for architectural publications.

Sujet:
Short workshop project for the Jacques VIEILLE workshop et the ESA October 2007. The subject of the workshop was: Nature et Artifice (Natural and Artificial).
Some aspects of nature are defined by mathematical formulas, corresponding to certain functions of plants. I took the sunflower and the hemlock flowers as reference. The sunflower looking towards the sun, by following its path in the sky, the hemlock as a Lindenmayer, path fractal system.
This project is the result of a very short Workshop with Peter Macapia in 2007 at the ESA. The subject was the transformation of a simple geometric object by the context.
We decided to work on the entrance to Paris by train, so the project is situated near to the "Gare de l'Est", where a few months after the workshop the TGV est would arrive. So creating a moving entrance into Paris seemed an interesting interpretation of the subject.
Cast in alphabetical order: architecture, infrastructure, featuring: signs and publicity. All the while reflecting on urban developement and tomorrow's architecture, the images unravel desolate everyday life surrounded by nothing but small homes and malls.
They dig into a world where man has traded his social life in for consumption and has lost his ground to cars and garbage.
