The Europa City project is presented, in the first video, by Bjarke Ingels, explaining his ideas for a project scheme, whose plan basically consists of radial streets connected by a central loop pathway and adjacent areas or quarters with designated spaces for a water park, an international exhibition hall, sports, music venues, small shops, restaurants, and hotels, all under the platform of a large UFO. In a way, Europa City resembles the snail-like layout of the Parisian arrondissements.
The second video takes a journey through each of Europa City's quarters through the use of photorealistic 3D and 2D graphics and stills.
Squint/Opera worked with Bjarke Ingels to create a film using a green screen to explain each quarter of Europa City, a new destination to the north of Paris. The project is expected to open in 2020.
Combining a water park, exhibitions, sports, music venues, shops, restaurants, hotels and more, Europa City is proposed as a visionary leisure and culture hub outside Paris. The project, with views across the French capital, is designed by architect Bjarke Ingels of BIG. The developer is Alliages. The collaboration by Squint/Opera, included creating a film tour of the whole place combining photoreal 3D and 2D graphics, plus a series of stills to capture the excitement and energy of this centre.
