SITE PLAN & DEMOGRAPHICS

                                     SITE PLAN ANALYSIS

My Art Portfolio project is a commercial art gallery with a pop art theme. This art gallery will be located in Paris France. A building cannot be constructed without the selection of an appropriate location therefore I have found an area located in Paris where the building will be based






My project is a commercial Art Gallery therefore situating it in a business district is a great business strategy to attract customers. It will be situated in Ilot Fertile located in the Buttes Chaumont district of Paris.

The Ilot Fertile is surrounded by many restaurants, shopping centres as well as transport routes. This will make it easier for customers to satisfy their needs and wants as well as navigate their way back to their residences.


                                                              DEMOGRAPHICS


Buttes- Chaumont is the 19th district in Paris with a population of 181,616 people( 2021). It has a total area of 6.790km^2 with a population density of 26,748/km^2




According to a 2020 census of Buttes-Chaumont, 87,000 people were males whilst 95,464 were females.




AGE DISTRIBUTION GRAPH 

With this age distribution graph, it is evident that Buttes Chaumont has a youthful population as the middle section of the age bars is broader. The largest age group is the 20 to 29-year-olds with a value of 29,804 people. It is closely followed by 30 to 39-year-olds with a value of 28,511 people. 10 to 19-year-olds in Buttes de Chaumont are 20,464. 

With the graph, it is evident that as the age group increases the number of people increases. The age group with the lowest number of residents is that of the 90 and above with 1,513 residents. 



According to a 2020 census, 153,233 residents are French locals while 29,978 are foreigners residing in Buttes-Chaumont


 Buttes-Chaumont has many side attractions which include; 




  
PARK DE VILLETTE

                                       Park de Villete which is the largest park in France. 






             
                                                   CITES DE SCIENCE ET INDUSTRIE

                   Cites de Science et Industrie which is the largest science museum in Europe 






 From June to September, the average temperatures reach a low of 55°F (13°C) and a high of 77°F (25°C). Temperatures can reach 86°F (30°C), but it is on rare occasions. However, the heat in this city is humid and it can be draining to walk through of Paris during extremely warm days.



Winters in Paris are cold, although not frequently freezing. The typical temperature ranges from 33°F (1°C) to 44°F (7°C). Winter brings stronger rains and perhaps snowfall.


The North Atlantic Drift, which originates from the Atlantic Ocean mostly influences Paris's moderate oceanic climate, which is categorized as Cfb under the Köppen climatic classification system. The city experiences little seasonal variations in temperature, with highs of 24.6°C (76.3°F) and lows of 1.8°C (35.2°F) throughout the year.



Over the year, humidity levels remain quite low, ranging from 68 to 86%. The year-round occurrence of precipitation, in the form of snowfall and rainfall, reaches its maximum during the colder months, with December recording the highest totals. Paris experiences 3.8 to a maximum of 9.3 hours of sunshine every year, despite the city experiencing a substantial amount of cloud cover, which ranges from 37 to 60%. The wind speed ranges from 9.9 km/h (6.2 mph) to 15.4 km/h (9.6 mph), with the strongest gusts being in the winter.

    You need to do an in-depth post on the area and why your gallery is needed and what you think it can offer the area, also why Paris is the place you have chosen (the history of Arts in Paris). This is not enough in this post.

    Would also like to see you talk about your background research into Pop Art.

                                                                INTRODUCTION         Hi, welcome to Mani's Cosmos. My name is Manuela Boaduwa Xose Mantey .I am an Art and Design student at De Montfort International College and I will further my studies with a bachelor's degree in Architecture.  I have a keen interest in art and the design about buildings, artworks portraits amongst others. This blog will be based on topics related to the architecture field as well as how I will maneuver my way around the use of a variety of digital software                                                              Any Architect can draw and design a building and with the help of Engineers, these buildings can become a reality. However, to produce sophisticated structures, not every Architect is capable of this.   However, there are a few Architects who have made a mark in the Architecture world by producing abstract and astonishing building designs. Some of these Architects are Frank Lloyd W

INITIAL RESEARCH: ATELIERS JEAN NOUVEL- MONAD TERRACE

                                 JEAN NOUVEL- MONAD TERRACE This post is mainly an expansion of my previous post regarding my idea generation. The Social Housing sector demands precision and the ability to experiment with varying ideas. Hence, this task I would say was coincidentally given to me to challenge me and pull me out of my comfort zone.  For this blog, I will conduct research into Jean Nouvel who was and still is one of the most influential and creative Architects France birthed.  JEAN NOUVEL  Jean Nouvel was born in the year 1945 in Fumel, France. After he enrolled at the Ecol des Beaux-Arts in Bordeaux, he obtained the first position in the entrance exam due to his high intellect and intelligence in the year 1966. He then went on to further his undergraduate studies and obtained his degree in the year 1971.  He began his professional career in 1970 after he became an assistant to Claude Parent and was inspired by urban planner and essayist Paul Virilio. He then became one o
