One of the comments under the entry in dezeen magazin blog 's just made me laugh. The article concerns the project of 100 social housing, which are to be realized in Paris in the form of three story buildings along the main pedestrian alley. The designer is French architekt Edouard François.

The comment is what a fantastically innovative way to not actually design anything. The housing of utterly simple, traditional form is very interesting because of  urban design, e.g. the silhouette of interior street and thanks to landscaping solutions and first of all - the greenery design. The idea of innovative green wall's been introduced - which is explained e.g. here.

These comments are symptomatic. The architecture is expected to provide the originality for every price. Utterly senseless. Especially when speaking about social housing. The architecture may be rich because of the materials used, the relations of volumes, the shaping of environment. See yourself. I just find the project great.
