Maison Fond

I've noticed this 'house' outside the front of the Gare du Nord on a couple of occasions, and at last I took the time to find out what it is all about. It's a sculpture, installed in 2015 and designed by the Argentinean artist Leandro Elrich. Its aim is to highlight the effects of global warming, hence the house appears to be 'melting'.
