french architect jean nouvel has designed the 'C1' building, situated in
the heart of a new quarter currently being developed on the former renault factory
site at boulogne billancourt, france. the building contains about 40 000 meters squared
of offices and shops. construction began in december 2008 and the project
is expected to be completed by 2011.
'horizons proposes a new way of looking at an office tower. this non tower is about
stratification, about stacking, about finding reasons to invent terraces, fictitious horizons,
contrasts, about revealing references, diversities, interferences with nature, a distant
dialogue with saint cloud hillside. the intention is for people to feel that the place where
they live or work is a specific place that is different from their neighbour's place.
horizons has been conceived in the hope that architecture can mean respecting
individualities and can offer individual users small pleasures often forgotten or considered
unnecessary. it is a small gesture but today opportunities for mixing work with pleasure
have become rare.' - jean nouvel
