Paris known as a sleeping beauty, does never assume its contemporaryness. Even if it offers masterpieces of architecture and major reflexions, there is still a gap between what we do and what we show. Paris is one of those rare places where Le Corbusier can meet Franck Gehry, Guimard; Jean Nouvel, Rogers; Pei.
Let me propose some exemples which make me love Paris as an exciting place for architecture and I hope showing my photographical work you'll share my passion.

Villa Savoye - Le Corbusier - 1928


Centre Georges Pompidou - Rogers & Piano - 1977


Fouquets - Edouard François - 2006


Musée des Arts Premiers - Jean Nouvel - 2006


Bibliothèque François Mitterrand - Dominique Perrault - 1996


Passerelle Simone de Beauvoir - Feichtinger - 2006


Tour EDF - Pei - 2001


Ministère de la Culture - Francis Soler - 2004


Drugstore Publicis - Michele Saee - 2004


Palais de la Porte Dorée - Albert Laprade - 1931


Totem - Andrault et Parat - 1979


Cinémathèque - Frank Gehry - 1993


Grand Louvre - Pei - 1989-2000


Kiosque des noctambules - Jean-Michel Othoniel - 2000

@El Greco
I'm preparing a mix of my pictures of industrial Paris.

@Juanico
Je t'ai mis quelques photos du musée du quai Branly et te renvoie au thread que j'avais crée il y a un moment. Etant interdit de photographier l'intérieur, je n'ai malheureusement rien à te proposer.
Pour le fouquets je n'ai pas beaucoup de photos.
Et la Villa Savoye, je te renvoie au thread que j'avais crée sur le forum français :)
