Jörg Brockmann Livres

Paradis du promeneur, Paris se découvre en flânant, l'œil aux aguets, afin de ne rien manquer d'un étonnant voyage architectural à travers styles et époques. De la majesté médiévale de Notre-Dame au futurisme coloré du Centre Georges-Pompidou, de l'hôtel particulier, véritable bijou classé, aux tours de verre et d'acier, des églises aux restaurants, des espaces publics aux résidences privées, mille bâtiments ont ainsi été photographiés avec brio et racontés avec passion. Jorg Brockmann et James Driscoll ont su saisir toute la richesse de la ville pour nous offrir une vision originale des architectures parisiennes, tandis que Kathy Borrus, combinant informations historiques et anecdotes surprenantes, nous livre un panorama unique de l'évolution de Paris au fil des siècles. Des cartes classées par arrondissements et de nombreux encadrés thématiques complètent cet ouvrage essentiel, célébration d'une capitale en perpétuel devenir.
