Data Architectes has submitted their project, a proposal for the Cultural and Spiritual Russian Orthodox Center in Paris. Additional images and a short description from the architect after the break.
Two large signs announcing the spiritual and cultural center of Russian Orthodox Paris:
A bar extends compatible with the spirit of the Avenue Rapp then closes the overall composition of the island along the Quai Branly.
A hexagonal cone in the center of the garden inspired by the sublime wooden churches of the Russian far north. It contains the place of celebration of the believers.
These two nested objects are merged by the extensive use of stone in Paris.

very nice… clean and sensitive! no pseudo-sceintific BS, no gymnastics… This is Architecture!
No, that’s a blatant rip-off of master Peter Zumthor; only he is the originator and this is pathetic plagiarism. Sometimes i’m in awe that the judges even consider this kind of practice, and dont sanction the non imaginative talentless cffices.
So what? does he have some kind of patent on the composition of bricks? Looks like a decent project to me.
Grow up, betch.
Another imitation from Kolumbia Museum – Peter Zumthor – Köln, Germany
you are talking about the facade or the whole project ?
beautiful art, do inspiret
