The South-African Embassy in Paris is an iconic example of the pattern approach in architecture by a design collective, created in 1974 by Jean-Marie Garet, Gérard Lambert, Jean Thierrart and the L’Oeuf center of studies. The cubic building with its three identical facades, emblematic of of the 70s architecture, moves away for the traditional architecture of the area. Its windows are partly hidden by gigantic cast-aluminium shields. The interior design and the door design and the large ceramic walls are the works of the L’Oeuf center of studies, a famous group of interior designers and architects established in the early 60s. |
