give up subway stations have long been the resort area of squatters and urban explorers alike , but one French politico has high Bob Hope . Nathalie Kosciusko - Morizet , a candidate for mayor of Paris , wants to turn them intoawesome amusement and sport venue .
Kosciusko - Morizet — or NKM , as she ’s known by her supporters — just revealed a serial of sketchesfor what these repurposed Paris Metro stations might bet like . Working with young Parisian architect Manal Rachdi and urban planner Nicolas Laisné , NKM believes she can commute otherwise unused spaces into everything from a swimming pool to an auditorium . And you bang you ’d party in an give up Metro place nightclub . Fun fact : the French term for abandoned subway system stations literally transform as “ phantom station . ”
Of naturally , the idea of repurposing public works projects is hardly new , though NKM ’s approach is particularly radical . In Sweden , a design studio has project flex redundant blank space on Stockholm ’s Tranebergbron bridgeinto a sheltered stroll , outdoor celluloid , and art gallery . In New York City , they do matter a fiddling less officially . Gotham ’s abandoned metro stationshave long been home to ill-famed underground party — the literal kind .
But seriously , this Paris plan — if realise — would blow all of those out of the water . Then the City of Light really will have it all . [ NKMviaPSFK ]
