"Revisiter les Sept Merveilles du monde dans une version revue et corrigée ? C'est... presque ce que propose Harry Seidler, l'auteur de cet ouvrage qui s'est lancé le défi de recenser les plus belles réussites architecturales du monde. (...) L'image se suffit à elle-même : de l'épure des pyramides égyptiennes au building brésilien et aux jardins urbains de verre américains, en passant par les sanctuaires d'or thaïlandais, les palais de bois japonais, les immeubles viennois 1900, les fantaisies barcelonaises, les façades rococos russes... sans oublier "nos" élégants châteaux de la Loire. Place au voyage!"Le Particulier immobilier, ParisFrance |
