Grand Paris

favorable opinion of the Court's constitutional referendum will not solve everything for Alvaro Uribe. Arises because a scheduling problem. The limit of nominations for the election on 30 May is 12 March. Unable to hold a referendum before then. Will he defer the election? "It would be a coup," said Gustavo Petro this week, the leader of Polo.

Nicolas Sarkozy revived the offensive on his favorite site of Greater Paris. In the bimonthly journal Architecture Today the reference architecture, the head of state back on its project, largely focused in his campaign by the UMP leader in Ile-de-France, Valérie Pécresse. In this conversation a dozen pages, Nicolas Sarkozy was careful not to enter the political debate to keep the height of view. It seeks to reconcile both the project architects as those of politicians of all parties. The spirit of the text is that of his speech in April at the Palais de Chaillot, which had attracted the unanimity in the political and artistic. "We need identity, he said, it needs security, but also thirsty for surprises, discoveries, encounters, surprises."

L'Atelier du Grand Paris

The workshop sought long to allow architects to work together and to "propose a policy, a comprehensive urban project" will be launched "early April" by Sarkozy. If it provides "necessarily" the "debate" between the teams and "also" between elected, he hopes that everyone will put "the public interest above the squabbles of powers". This workshop will be "interactive" and will "heavily involve civil society."
