VOL 1; Still, Paris

Well, it's been quiet long time since my last post about moi Une Belle Journee vol 1, well, blame on exams and tasks :p 

So, here I am, again, telling you about my late Journey in Paris.
In the last day, night time, we visit Bercy Village, it's a relatively new shop & cafe complex with a pedestrian-like-atmosphere built from an ex factory. So the buildings there were an old factory that is being revitalized. One more thing I love about the city is; revitalitation everywhere. Old buildings re-used without changing its architectural aspect, and still, it looks modern and shopisticated.

So this is the tram. I love how they place the green grass in the middle of the railway. Super smart.

And this is the underground we use to transfer from AREP to Bercy Village. From the ceiling we we could know that this station is old. Clean, cold, and beautiful.

This is how bercy village looked from outside. Shop shop.

This is the entrance :D Passage Saint Emilion! Kurang lebih, entrance ke jalan Saint Emilion.

Me near the entrance. Champs Saint Emilion!

Small cookies/pastry shop is oftenly found in every corner of the city. You'd love the pastry. Really. It will be as good as you expected a pastry from Paris.

So, this is what inside the bercy village!  It is a long pedestrian with coffee shop, cafe, bistro, and restaurant along the walking path. They even use a 'sheeting' along the skyline, it's been rainy in Paris that time.

We stop by for a lunch at a restaurant named Hippo! Maybe in Indonesia it's like Waroeng Steak -well, more formal-, it's a franchise and it's everywhere. I saw Hippo in Toulouse and some part in Paris too.

This is the interior of Hippo restaurant. Warm warm warm. With many Hipopotamus's statue. ._.

Night scene in Bercy Village. See, you could see that white-bricks building is an ex factory.

Traditional X Modern. Love it!

Cool shop. They sell good furniture and its detail<3 td="td">

Me at the shop :3 I wish I could be livin in Paris and ride vespa along the road  hahaha

That's all for the first day :3

UNE BELLE JOURNEE VOL 1

I know it's kinda late to post this. But yea, that I've promised to myself to write all (if possible) my two-weeks experience in some parts of Europe.
So here it goes, 1st day after my arrival in Charles de Gaulle aeroport, Paris, France. Bienvenue<3 p="p">
As my background on Architecture, here are some architecture details in CDG.

the ceiling.

expose on its structure, creating a modern vibe.

as I see, Europe loves glass-shield-building. I assume it's because they wanted  to put in the light as much as it's possible, that as we know there are not much light in Europe, well, compared to Indonesia.

From CDG to Paris, we were travelling by Metro, with a direct trip into Gare Du Nord, the biggest station in Paris Districts. Gare Du Nord has some railways with different modes of train, it has Metro as the city transport, RER as the regional transport, and TGV, which could travel along cities or even countries around Europe.

Here are two picts of Gare Du Nord's interior, as you could see, there is a glass-roof on the ceiling, to expose the natural light and decrease the use of electricity.

Then, here we go to the most favorite part of the day! A visit to AREP Building :D

AREP is a multidisclipinary organization which is concerning on the reinvention of train station. Even so, they were also work on the design and development for the contemporary city which is the nerve center of mobility. What excites me is their point of view about developing. They analize the area and develop it based on its function, history, geography, and its local culture.

Well, back to the building, the office itself is a reinvention of an ex-car-factory, so then the interior style is a bit industrial. Here are some picts;

 AREP's office consist 3 level building with mezanin floor on its level. As you could see, there are a three-level blocks, that's the meeting room!

 This picture above, you could see another type of roof with glass which allows natural lights to enter the building and surely to cut the costs on electricity for lamps.

high ceiling for good air circulation. hundreds of people work in this office.

 yup yup, industrial style.

this is the space for creative works. there are the open space one, and there are the more private one for small meetings.

the most interesting part of the building; there are vegetations! on the left side, is the canteen with warmer vibe than the other spaces. <3 p="p">

That's all for the 1st day!

Will be posting later. Sure.

Au Revoir, A Bientot.

SUMMERPROJECT #1

finally, we made it! 

it's been a long long dream for me and my fellow Nina, to hv a random summer photoshoots in a random place. every school-long-holiday time since our 10th grade, we were always talk about it, but we never made it, dan selalu nyadarnya baru akhir liburan waktu udah mepet masuk sekolah hahaha!

and thennn, this year's Ramadhan Holiday, we finally made it *hurray.

modal keseloan dan keisengan, we kidnapped our friend Irene in the middle of very bright noon, and sharp drive towards the south. after a long drive (sampe gempor kaki gueh), then we found this place above the bridge, with a vast river and grasses. somewhere in south YK, arah ke Parangtritis.

been in YK for 18 yrs, and I still discover sumthin new. super awsum!

clear sky along the bridge. what a feeling!

super lucky there were a 'getek' sailing along the river. jump in!

climb up up up to the road. changing venue~

the 2nd venue is super dry. 

but we're happy. :D

let's explore the city!

blah

swept by the silence.

"..and I begin to feel, these things between us, it's real.. "
"..then be sure, 'cause it is."
