| Spectacular child Centre in Paris Posted: 24 Nov 2013 02:27 AM PST 
This beautiful building, avant-garde and playful in equal parts, is destined to be a future landmark architectural of the French capital. Its bold design makes it a very special building, a children’s Centre and located in Bolougne-Billancourt day nursery, a district of the periphery of Paris.
His name is “Center child day of the giraffe” and is well easy to deduce why it is called so. The building is a project of Hondelatte Laporte Architectes and is located in the area triangle located between the District of old Sèvres bridge and the above-mentioned new district, .
The goal of the architects was to revitalize urban landscape laying hold of the imagination of the child. The result is a striking and full of beauty, that seems to be supported by large wild animals reinvented through a style very similar to contemporary art. The sculptures represent a large yellow giraffe (the unquestionable protagonist the environment and giving its name to the Centre), a white polar bear and a loving family of ladybugs. The project, thus, defined as a mix of modern architecture and story.
The architects remarked that white corrugated iron that lines the walls provides a perfect neutral setting for the animal sculptures stand out in the landscape of the city. Thus, the building changes its identity as such to become a landscape by itself, “a metaphor for the urban jungle with animals and trees” by connecting the building with nature and movement. In addition to its spectacular aesthetic, building giraffe has been awarded the green label ‘Energie Effinergie zero’ by its energy efficiency.
