Dans les murs de l'abbaye du Thoronet vibrent à jamais le génie et la foi. Un moine bâtisseur construisit, au XIle siècle, ce chef-d'œuvre cistercien. Son journal de bord raconte les difficultés techniques infinies, la faiblesse et le courage des hommes, et aussi les doutes qui l'assaillent. Il partage ses angoisses, ses réflexions, et s'émerveille de la rencontre scellée entre l'art et Dieu.

Additionally, Pouillon's own reflections on the role of contemporary architects are included. Central to the work are survey drawings and photographs showcasing his significant housing projects in Paris.
