actually air condition is not often used in areas like paris, because it doesn’t get very hot (max around 31 degrees C) so air conditioning won’t be used (I wouldn’t do it and I live 100km from Paris)

When i read the description I agreed with how the air conditioning contradicts the whole eco idea of the building. But when i saw the pictures and realized how large the atriums were I realized that they wouldn’t exactly need airconditioning. As we all know heat rises, thus cooling the building would only be a matter of venting the ceiling and installing ceiling fans to pull the heat up and out. Thus solving the costly problem of the air cooling system.

HAhaha! “Vive le contradición!”
So true. But while I’m not normally into glass ob/constructions, I do feel the rectangular design fits in that area. Atria are interesting spaces, and I like the bottom two because of all the white, but I’m not pro wasting space. Too many atria in that building. Totally unnecessary.
