Tschumi’s Parc de la Villette is a conceptual framework for a structure that allows for multiple combinations within the sapce
The interchangeability and wide allowance for many diverse interpretations allow for a future expression of the
park never before seen in an architectural structure.
The Parc de la Villette creates objects and spaces of continuity and discontinuity
and provides a location for all types of expression and activity.
The disassociations and
complexities of layering three disparate systems together (lines, points and
surfaces) create a
richness and a discontinuity that exists within life.
It does not create a form of idealism (as many parks tend to strive for), but rather generates an honesty, a realism, and a true spontaneity found within the complexity of
our very own
existence.
According to Vidler in The Body In Pain, Tschumi’s Parc de la Villette is so fundamentally novel in that for the first
time in architecture, the form has actually been turned
inside out.
