A giant snail highlighting ecology and recycling through an installation by 26 artists. This is what travelling exhibition La Forêt Escargot offers us to discover from July 12 to September 10, 2019 at the Place de la Bataille de Stalingrad in Paris.

Since July 12, 2019, the Place de la Bataille de Stalingrad in Paris 19th arrondissement has been housing a giant snail.
It’s actually La Forêt Escargot, a travelling installation to see till September 10, 2019 in Paris than will then go to Malakoff from January 18 to April 30, 2020.
Highlighting the work of 26 street artists, this installation has been created by Inzouk Assoc, a non-profit association organizing cultural events related to street pictorial praxis.
They’ve all agreed to collaborate to sculpt, paint and create something inside and outside to give birth to this Forêt Escargot.
Even with the little weight of the mobile construction the float was perfectly stable. The floats are one welded unit containing the load bearing frame made up of Aluminium G-sections reaching all the way round as well as the actual floats.
If the tail of the snail has been created by EvazéSir, the shell has been painted by Michael Beerens. Inside, visitors can discover a giant totem by Nosbé as well as a rain of light floral suspensions by Mademoiselle Maurice. Children and adults will take a walk down memory lane with the panda by Doudou’Style and Mosko’s giraffes.
Like the whole installation, La Forêt Escargot invites to think about the environment. By choosing to recycle materials, La Forêt Escargot makes us wonder about what our waste will become and invites visitors to “understand that beautiful isn’t inseparable from new”.
To discover this very poetic collective work, head to the Place de la Bataille de Stalingrad until September 10.

Homes For Life
Dome shapes may be adapted for residential construction as well. People who are looking for a natural and harmonious space for life choose dome houses.
Domes much better withstand heavy loads than any other type of building – its own structure and environmental – wind, sand, rain, snow. The interesting fact is that the dome becomes even more stable while affected by those loads!
Aside from their natural beauty, domes also have many structural advantages. Geodesic shelters have been built around the world in varied climates and have proven to be the strongest and most efficient human shelter ever conceived. Unlike a traditional home, domes get proportionally stronger as their size increases.
C’est bien de s’asseoir le soir en famille, avec des amis, et de profiter de la nature en plein air, parfums divers et variés afin de profiter d’une belle soirée autour d’un bon diner ou toutes autres activités …. vivez des moments inoubliables
Domes use 30% less surface area to enclose the same amount of volume as a box type structure. This means there is less area for heat to escape or outside air to penetrate. In addition, the spherical shape of a geodesic dome provides for natural and efficient interior air circulation. The natural aerodynamics of the dome means that cold air blows around the home instead of hitting a flat wall and penetrating to the inside.
