#010 What’s up Paris? Whats up Paris
The proposed site invites you to rethink what is necessary to create an atmosphere where technology should not have any role where the talks “face to face” are the predominant element, where we can relax listening to a musician playing the guitar, having a coffee or making an improvised picnic.
Imagine a space without mobile phones. HAVE FUN and project freely.
SURFACES. The ideas are hardly limited and imagination even more. This is why the project can be developed to its full extent. No need to occupy the entire Champs de Mars surface, since the proposal can be concentrated, pixelated, fragmented, scattered, flexible, deployable… the most important thing is that every project, every idea generates a relaxed atmosphere, leisure and fun that must be achieved.
LOCATION. This project may be buried, semi-buried, covered, uncovered, spread, concentrated… should not be limited by logical ideas or extravagances, craziness often trigger progress. And rethinking what you believe is already thought is the key to success.
CONCEPT. As discussed above, the element may be permanent or ephemeral, flexible, static or itinerant. It should not be conceived as an element shelter or living, instead it must be conceived as a meeting place without technology to distract us from what is happening there, an interchange of experiences, flows of people, a book club, to talk, friendship, conversation, a market of smiles and passions, a picnic area, a place where children and elder play. A space where there is architecture but above all there is laughter, fun, passion. There is life.
PREMISES
– No need to think about toilets, one should rather think of area/s of relaxation, enjoyment and entertainment
– It must be generated space/s where people interact with the city, with the landscape that is all around. There is a beautiful city around us, large green areas, should be exploited. Not every day you have the opportunity of projecting at the foot of an architectural icon, an emblem Paris, such as the Eiffel Tower.
– The hidden eyes, crossed views, scenic views, sensory experiences through light, smells, atmospheres… All these can be a project basis.
*Being a contest on ideas, the participants are free to modify the given surfaces. This report must be taken as a reference for the necessary spaces so that the project is practical and as a measure for the total dimensions of the project. The participants can suggest new areas not included in this document, as deleting and combining some of the already mentioned.

Kahawa – Coffee & Books by Atelier Starzak Strebicki
Imagine a café, a reading room, a bookstore and a coffee roasting company all located in a refurbished former milk bar. The idea to create a place that would meet various needs of book lovers and coffee enthusiasts was a consequence of bringing together owners’ professional passion (for books) and memories of exotic (African) childhood. The space is divided into three zones that clearly illustrate this multifunctional concept.
