Echoes of Part Dieu

La Part-Dieu is a district of Lyon where new buildings have been growing for more than fifty years. Every day a lot of people pass without stopping, if they look at some new structures some olders are unseen ; but nevertheless they were designed in the past by great architects paying close attention to human needs and desires. Among all these buildings, many are significant examples of the Brutalist movement, which influenced urban architecture in many cities of the world from the fifties onwards, characterised by the repetition of massive, geometric shapes. My gaze here looks for the music that can emerge in the unexpected harmonies and rhythms of the shapes of these mundane buildings.
