Images, comments and stories on the 1001 wonders that appears to those wandering around in Paris
Je reprends dès cette semaine le fil de Paris le Nez en l'air. Désolé pour ce long silence. Ma disponibilité à bloguer a été aspirée par un autre projet qui parle de vélo, de voyage, de courage, de leucémie et de don de moelle osseuse.Builded in 1913 this building was created in a very early modern style for artist studios. The drawings on the outside walls are made with the sgrafitto technique very much in fashion during those years.
It is now the Henri Cartier-Bresson center for photography
Once again this building is part of the "experimental street" rue de Réaumur where, between 1895 and 1900, architects were aloud to test new style that would mark the evolution of the strict haussmannian period.
On this building the iron structure is no longer hidden behind the stone but reveal it's squeleton to the public as the curved shapes and the floral decoration shows the inspiration of the Art Nouveau style.
