Everything comes to an end in this world, especially old and ugly buildings, even if the once sheltered art... For yes, ladies and gentleman, this is where I took this photo, and this photo, after I initially took this one... I guess you know what I'm talking about now, don't you?! Update: thanks to Flore, a true visitor to PDP, here is a link to the "live" feed of the demolition.
Oh yes I do. It is a real pity for all the artistic work that was sheltered inside the Tour 13. I saw the video of the destruction on internet. This is here if you want to see : http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x1mgl9b_demolition-tour-paris-13-en-direct_creation?start=45 It still took 4 days...
Ca ne laisse vraiment pas indifférent, ces images. Effroyable efficacité ... Qu'y a t-il de prévu à la place de ces 2 bâtiments - on parle toujours de la Tour 13 mais l'autre bâtiment a été détruit pareil ... Le point positif après une destruction, c'est ... ce qui peut suivre... la re-construction. J'espère que ça évoluera vers quelque chose de bien pour tout le monde. Pour tout le monde, non, mais au moins pour la qualité de vie des habitants ...
Too bad. But thanks to you (and Flore) for the video. It looked like the machines were eating the building (and I loved how you could tell when they were having their lunch break).
I had no idea yet about where this Tour 13 was precisely located. And I soon will have a look to the following steps. Thank you for your many inputs to the art Eric, in every kind of field. I am often late ... but I try to catch up ;)

I figured, from the title, that might be the case.
ReplyDeleteSo, they finally took it down. It's a shame...it generated such creativity!
ReplyDeleteI knew it immediately. It's become like an old friend to PDP fans.
ReplyDeleteThank you Eric ! True, I am... yes !
ReplyDeleteAnd happy to be !!

la construction de 180 logements sociaux d'après les dires de certains
DeleteToo bad, but at least it went out in a blaze of artistic glory. Now, are there any other buildings due for demolition?
