Work on the Paris Philharmonic makes them all crazy

The Philharmonie de Paris was to be the masterpiece of Jean Nouvel. But the architect says victim pressed technocrats who have distorted the project. Although the cost has tripled in ten years, it requires new credits to complete the building. Otherwise, he proclaims to François Hollande and Bertrand Delanoë, this grand concert hall will be missed. While the room finally opened January 14 and Jean Nouvel announced it would not participate in the inauguration, Claude Askolovitch below tells an epic battle where dreams collide variables, political ambitions and challenges financial.By Claude Askolovitch
On the scale of eternity, no doubt, all will be sublime. But it is to this that we suffer and Jean Nouvel, a builder for history, has trouble with contingencies. In spring 2013, the largest French architect living in Paris storm. He wants to see God, the president, the monarch. It has to submit an injustice. He wants to talk to him about the Philharmonic, the concert hall of 2400 seats it was tasked to build in Paris - his hope and his complaint. He must say, Francois Hollande, that spoil the evil work that pays poorly, we work badly. It botches the project is built without it, the architect title, robbed, violated ... But New unsuccessfully storm the Elysee does not open and it is in this desolation that meets in his studio eleventh arrondissement."An architect tries to give evidence of an era and of a situation," he told me this June evening in a small room at the top of New Hive - a woven pan building courtyard spaces and populated computers. The master discourses about his profession: "You do not build in the absolute, but a place for a project, to testify. This is what I want to do in Beijing; that's what I wanted to do in Paris. "It could be an artistic pose, we smile; it's true and sad at the same time. Jean Nouvel speaks silently in the price of his art as a truth that is hidden, the mediocrity of the moment fades. "The architects have lost power in the country for thirty years. We no longer have the responsibility of our sites or our projects. "It expresses the decline of visionaries who invent buildings in their head and see the then minus by engineers, technicians, financiers, all subject to emergencies and political oversights, those that would convince but who march in present
