THE FUNAMBULIST
The Funambulist is a daily architectural platform edited by Léopold Lambert based on the archives of the former boiteaoutils.Its name is inspired by a reflection on the line as the architect's medium. In fact, this line on the white page that ends up spliting two milieus from one another, control the access of the bodies. The act of walking on the line (funambulist is another word for tight-rope walker) thus becomes an act of freedom. It also refers to Philippe Petit crossing illegally the space between the two towers of the World Trade Center in 1974 and the funambulist in Nietzsche's Zarathoustra who dies peacefully as he died from the danger he dedicated his life to.
The Funambulist is also accessible via Facebook and Twitter
