1. 'Paris Beneath My Feet' 10 days in Paris, Feb 2008

3. Beautiful light qualities in the
Institut du Monde Arabe

4. ...but the best thing about Paris was the company

5. We were all there to learn and the Spaniards here
are never afraid of a good architectural argument

6. We did most of Paris by foot and here is us
waiting for the metro..

7. Paris Metro provides great busker entertainment, but
David doesn't seem too impressed

8. “Villa La Roche” First couple
of days were filled with Le
Corbusier architecture, and
I don't think I have ever
really appreciated him till
now. This was the light-bulb
moment for this trip.

9. Clara enjoying the Corb
chair in Villa La Roche

10. This is the Corbusier building I loved
best. His own apartment provided so
many 'ah ha!' moments.

11. West facing room... + Spaniards

12. Kajsa loving the chair at Villa Savoye

13. “It's Blue TOO!” Xavier pointing
out the blue reflection at Villa
Savoye

14. Walking...walking.. keep walking...

15. Fabio and Crepe. 'Crepe
au Nutella' was an
absolute institution. We
have found the best crepe
store where the guy just
slightly undercooks the
batter so you get the
fluffy jelliness...mmm

16. This was such a random night. Without planning to, we met the Spaniards at the
Place de la Concorde. When you are a tourist in Paris, it is a very small world

17. Big table, snails, wine and great company... very con vival... just how I like it :)

18. Flynn had spotted this amazing green structure thing from his train window...

19. And true to the architecture student culture, we trespassed onto the construction
site :) Love this part of being a student. Love it!

20. Construction sites are the best part of the learning experience...

21. Sofia, Clara and Xavier...more
walking...

22. I was pretty homesick till now, so it was really exciting to find some reminders of
home. So excited! (Guy on the bike doesn't get it.)

23. “The perfect model man” Corbs must
have been small, his ceilings are so
low. Quite strange for the Swedes
tho.

24. “Baguette!!!!” (and Meg)

25. Joey and I in front of the Centre
George Pomidou. They have the
most amazing collections of
modern art!

27. Picniking in the piazza outside the Centre George Pompidou. Eating out in Paris is
quite expensive so baguette, salami, cheese and foie grais was the staple. Poor
mans lunch, but we felt like kings.

28. I love this piazza as a public space.
It gently slopes into the Pompidou
and it was such a gorgeous day!

29. “Swedes in the Sun” a very
rare sight. Jonas, Kajsa and
Annette lapping it up.

30. All of s taking up the entire bench at the Brancusi Exhibition

31. Malin, Jonas and the Tour Eiffel

32. The Simone de Beauvoir Bridge. The coolest bridge in Paris. So sensuous, I love it.

33. Alex trying to look suave...

35. Our lovely 5th
year diploma student Tour Guides – Henrik and Alex. They had much
patience...much much patience... even for Swedes

36. Drinking by the Seine, the last night before the Swedes and Spaniards left.

37. “Jump” and covered the Eiffel
Tower... good air tho...

38. Jump again, I'm not entirely
sure why we jumped for the
Eiffel Tower?

39. At night fall it was beautiful. You really begin to understand the new spatiality
created by the industrial lattice

40. All of Paris at our feet... we went up the Tour Eiffel, just before the lights went on
and watched the city change. It is a completely different understanding of the city.

41. Can you see? Meg Joey and Flynn mesmerized...

42. Notre Dame in the mist of the morning

43. Flynn, Me and Joey and the Dame

44. We're going in... and Meg's excited!

45. Us aussies, Versailles and the Mother-of-all-axes

46. Big French boule. It was the most
divine bread. Rustic crusty yet so
soft and cakey on the inside

47. Picniking (true to our Paris
tradition) on the 'Temple of Love'
in Marie Antoinette's Estate

48. Hall of Mirrors, Versailles

49. “Fried not baked”,
but really good
after a night out

50. Flynn. Nothing to add

52. Our Amelie day at the Sacre Coeur
Another absolutely gorgeous day.

53. Outside the Louvre, Meg decided to
donate her lunch to a lady who
looked a bit empty handed

55. The experience of the Mona
Lisa is somewhat strange...

56. The Saint Chapelle...When you
think you've seen it all... you
haven't. Took my breath away
