Accueil - Utopies Réalisées
5 sites en région urbaine de Lyon Partez à la découverte de 5 sites emblématiques de l’architecture XXe siècle, tous situés en région lyonnaise. Chacun d’eux raconte un chapitre d’une histoire passionnante, celle des grandes utopies sociales et urbaines du siècle passé. Ces utopies sont nées de la rencontre entre des architectes visionnaires et des maitres d’ouvrage audacieux, qui partageaient la conviction que l’architecture et l’urbanisme modernes pouvaient contribuer à un monde meilleur.I spotted a few enticing visual patterns when browsing Australian cities in Google Earth recently. First, of course Canberra's Ebenezer Howard -inspired city centre looks fantastic from the air, even if it was never finished according to plan. (See also Marion Mahoney Griffin's beautiful watercolours - "infused with sepia, gold and other luminescent tones which capture the goldenness of a quintessential Australian landscape" - as part of the winning submission for Canberra's design , with her husband : 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 .) It'd be interesting compare a few more garden city layouts - given Google Earth's fantastic capability for revealing urban layout, as noted previously with respect to Barcelona ( see also ).
