Piotr Kowalski's Place Signée at La Défense
In 1986, artist Piotr Kowalski completed 'Place Signée,' a sculptural urban project at La Défense in Paris. The work occupies nearly 5,000 square meters across three levels, designed to serve as a pedestrian access and distribution hub for surrounding buildings, linking different urban zones. The surface is bordered to the north by a shopping center, to the south by the circular boulevard, and flanked by four large office buildings arranged in a fan shape, two of which were already built at the time of the article, with two more under construction. The project was initiated in 1982 and primarily functions as a pedestrian thoroughfare.
