When people come to the médiathèque Emile Zola from the rue Poséidon (from where I took the two photos above), they can see the trees of the boulevard de l'aéroport through the glass walls of the médiathèque.
When they are before the wall, they can also see the people in the library. Moreover they can see the reflection of the cars and the signs in the rue Poséidon. Two streets which are perpendicular to each other seem to make up a single street. The grey car was not under the trees, but rather it was behind me when I took the first photo (landscape).
When I uploaded the photos to my computer, I realized that the people in the library do not appear on them. A mystery to me!
This is a really magnificent modern building. It demonstates how the sensitive use of glass enables the building to fit nicely amongst its surroundings.
RépondreSupprimerI know that you said Antigone was a modern area, but in any case the overall townscape is not compromised by such sensitive design.
Moi, being a bit of a tram "freak", I am sure I may catch a gimpse of one, soon ?
wow very nice building very modern and elegant i love the shiny glass.
RépondreSupprimerThank you very much. Thousands of people visit it every week. We can borrow 10 books at a time. It is really a great place.
RépondreSupprimerA very beautiful building. Maybe the people are obscured by the reflections.
