Artists' Squats
On my first day back to the office (read: library), I decided to swing past an interesting building I've seen many times near where I live. Plainly in the middle of Paris, 59 Rivoli is not at all like the smooth commercial building that dominates the Louvre-Hotel de Ville district.
59 Rivoli is an artists' squat in the heart of Paris. It looks a lot like a university's studio arts building, but even more lived in. All the artist residents have put their painting, sculpture and other inventions all over the place. It's part studio and part gallery, since everyone is invited inside.
