Paris

Paris was such a great city to study architecture in. Definitely a good break from Rome to see some more modern buildings and redeveloping areas. Stanley toured us around for the week while we visited different types of buildings and sketched quite a bit. We saw some gothic architecture, such as Notre Dame, and then moved on to modern buildings as well as green spaces. The Eiffel Tower at night was on of my favorite sites to see. Unfortunately we did not get a chance to go up the tower but thats always a reason to go back. I think out of all the buildings the Musee De Quai Branly was one of my favorites. I loved the green wall out in front as well as the protruding boxes from the side facade. It was interesting to explore Paris and see all the uses of parks and gardens scattered throughout the city.
