Photographer’s Note

This very pretty district is a realization of the Catalan architect Ricardo Bofill.
On 40 ha replacing the old polygon of operation of the army, this whole of neo-classic style combines the modern techniques of construction :
concrete prestressed with the ton of the stone and search for a rigorous and gigantic harmony.
One can thus observe there a profusion of entablatures, pediments, pilasters and columns.
Trade, residences, utility services are side by side there.
And the research of the harmony shows through until in the details of the pavement or the street lighting.
