Blog 2: Part 4

The last of Nouvel’s work is my favorite of all the buildings I found. Building C1 in Bolougne Billancourt, France is a magnificent building that has shops and offices in it. From the pictures I have seen it looks remarkable. There are rooftop terraces, gardens, and a retractable cover that can go over the roof to cover the garden. Not only is it aesthetically pleasing, but it is green and healthy for the environment. There are three parts to the structure, almost like a wedding cake. The bottom part is dark and looks more like office buildings, the middle part is offset and has terraces with gardens around it, it looks better in my opinion and has lots of personality. The top of the building is skinnier and has a V shaped roof, with gardens throughout. This is honestly one of the coolest structures I have ever seen.
