Since winning the competition in 1982 for Parc de la Villette in Paris, Tschumi
has been responsible for creating the master plan for the 125-acre site and
coordinating a team of fifty designers, planners, landscape architects, and
engineers with the Museum of Science and Technology and the Cité de la
Musizue. The complex includes a movie theater, information center, restaurant,
covered gallery and bridge with shops and small pavilions, and 30 follies—small
structures that contain restaurants, day-care centers, and computers
galleries. |
Tschumi was the winner of an international competition for Le Fresnoy National
Studio for Contemporary Arts in Tourcoing, France, a facility whose main
purpose will be to provide postgraduate film training. This "school of the 21st
century" will incorporate a building that dates from the beginning of the 19th
century, and the school will contain a multimedia resource center, two cinemas,
auditorium, photo and sound studios, a great hall for live performances and
exhibitions, library, administrative facilities, restaurant, and workshops for
research and production in sound, electronic image, film, and video. |
Currently under construction is his design, in
association with Gruzen Samton, for Alfred Lerner Hall, a Student Activity
Center at Columbia in New York, which consists of a multipurpose facility with
auditorium, cinema, theater, clubs, meeting rooms, dining facilities,
administration, and radio station. |
