« François has also tried the humanisation trick in a vast underground car park in the 17th arrondissement at Place des Ternes. Instead of coloured-coded floors, he has writ that system large by washing each floor in coloured light. He has used glass in the stairwells for greater transparency throughout the space and, he hopes, to make women feel safer. He has added ‘trees’ which push up through all five floors, clad in a special material developed by Patrick Blanc up which plants creep and flower like something out of the jungle.»
