Hello Has anyone seen or purchased either of Bernard Tschumi’s books on the renovations of Parc Zoologique in Paris? I have seen them pop up on Amazon now and again but descriptions are not clear as to whether they are published in French or French/English, any ideas?
Both are books I've been planning to get, but not got around to yet! Amazon lists 'Architecture Zoo' as in French, and 'The Metamorphosis' as bilingual French/English.
Thanks - Metamorphosis on Book Depot shows English cover but language is French - Amazon shows French cover but no language description - confused!
Your 'prompt' has bumped me into it - I'll order them both, as I've been meaning to anyway - and let you know!
'Zoo La Metamorphose' has arrived from France - a second-hand copy in OK condition. Self-cover, hard-backed with no dust jacket. A nice book of 140 pages of super pictures - spoiled somewhat by a rather too 'arty' approach to setting-out, to my taste at least - leaving lots of white space and many small pictures. A few pages of text in both French and English in that order, but of equal length, detail and quality with no evidence of translation.
Hello Thanks for posting, I will look out for a used copy (although new price doesn’t seem too bad). thanks
'Paris Zoological Park', arrived today, Superb! and thoroughly recommended. Lovely pictures, artists impressions and coloured drawings. French/English text split equally on every page. Renders the other book a bit pointless...
