With the growth of World Cities in the 1990s, the contemporary notion of the Urban Gathering was born. Its essential characteristic is the creation of a specific urban sense of time through a scheduled series of varied ephemeral events. Paris has chosen the Seine River to anchor its warm-weather leisure projects, like Paris Plage, where stretches of heavily-trafficked riverside arteries are transformed into beaches of sand and palm trees.Our project allows us to locate an architectural reflection within the realms of urban transformation and enjoyment.It appears to us that Paris has the bridges and passages necessary for the flow of vehicular and pedestrian traffic across its waterways.
