Potsdamer Platz, constructed in the vacant middle of Berlin, and Paris Rive Gauche, the chic residential and office district encircling the new national library in the east of Paris – what does one have to do with the other? When going to these two locations as an observer, the initial thing determinable is an aesthetic criterion embracing structural dimension and distribution, façade design, and arrangement of the building interstices. People moving within the architecture are changed by it. One strategy is to appropriate architecture itself as pictorial material and interpret it through diverse manipulations of the pictorial material.
