The architects propose a system of walls instead of boxes, replacing enclosed booths with open partitions that subtly guide circulation, creating visual and spatial permeability, and inviting chance encounters between visitors, artworks, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.designboom.com\/tag\/museums-galleries\/\"><strong>galleries<\/strong><\/a>. The bays, open at both ends and slightly set back from the facade, form multiple pathways through the building, while, in some instances, two galleries even share a single bay.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>True to Paris Internationale\u2019s stripped aesthetic, the architectural language remains elemental, composed of neon lighting, simple walls with minimal finishes, and reused materials and structures from previous editions.

Through this strategy, Paris Internationale confronts one of the city\u2019s most pressing urban conditions, the underutilization and mono-functionality of its architectural stock.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.christgantenbein.com\/\">Swiss architecture studio<\/a><\/strong> Christ &amp; Gantenbein intervenes using light, reversible systems that interpret the building itself as an urban space. For the 2024 and 2023 editions, the fair was staged inside the historic Poste Berg\u00e8re-Trudaine, a former telephone exchange complex at 15\u201317 Rue du Faubourg Poissonni\u00e8re. Designed in 1911 by Fran\u00e7ois Le Coeur, with later additions from 1919 and 1935, the ensemble combines monumental industrial volumes with art deco ornamentation by sculptor Szabo. Its stripped-down interiors, left bare in anticipation of future renovation, provided a raw, infrastructural backdrop for the fair\u2019s 71 galleries spread over 5,000 square meters.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>Christ &amp;
