Tolbiac Apartments / AAVP Architecture

When wood shapes Paris. A simple but essential question guides the conception of Tolbiac: what is housing? Housing should elevate the individual to the rank of an inhabitant of the world, install home and in the city, connect to yesterday and tomorrow, let us contemplate the near and distant elsewhere, structure our views, let us touch the mineral and the woody, the light and the dark, be caressing and rough, clear and blurred, welcoming like a hotel and simple like a shelter, make us big and small at the same time.
