Federico Garcia Lorca media library, Montpellier. (2 images).

One sight.
Other sight.

The architecture of this media library, designed by the Boivin and Broussous, architects in Nimes, built starting from December 17th, 1999 and inaugurated on January 27th, 2001, pays homage to Spanish poet FEDERICO GARCIA LORCA.

The media libraries and the libraries contribute to the conservation of the inheritance, and facilitate the access of all the citizens to the culture.

FEDERICO GARCIA LORCA, was poet, playwright, painter, pianist and Spanish composer.
Born on June 5th, 1898 in Fuente Vaqueros close to Grenade and died on August 18th, 1936 with Víznar, shot in the beginning of the War of Spain which opposed to July 1936 to April 1939 the nationalists and the republicans.

Montpellier is a french commune, and the chief town of the Languedoc-Roussillon area, populated of 244 300 (in 2005), Montpelliérains and Montpelliéraines en 1999, distributed on 57 km², is 3 963 hab/km².

It is on 985, in a donation of the county of Melgueil, which for the first time the name of Montpellier appears.

In 2015, according to the projections established by INSEE, the urban surface of Montpellier should count more than 600.000 inhabitants.
The urban surface gathers all the communes, of which at least 40% of the active people in Montpellier, that is to say 74 communes.
The climate of Montpellier is a Mediterranean climate.
Contrary to a spread idea, it does not rain less in Montpellier that in Brest, but precipitations are much concentrated.

Accidenti che edificio originale e fotogenico!
E anche la tua foto è molto originale e bella con questo incredibile tetto che sporge in diagonale riempiendo tutto il fotogramma. Molto bello anche il blu del cielo che contrasta con la luce dorata artificiale. Mi colpisce l'estrema nitidezza di questa foto notturna e l'ottima scelta dell'inquadratura. Un ottimo lavoro.

Buona giornata,
Donato

Hello Joël,

On dirait un engin spacial venu du ciel, fantastique captage, quelle forme, cette avancée, cet effet, avec le lumirèes qui scintillent et c'est des endroits d'importance et de culture, superbe.

Bravo et amitié

Bonjour Joel,

ce n'est pas usuel de voir des compositions nocturnes dans sa galerie, mais ici tu preuve qui aussi sait manejar la lumière dans des conditions défavorables. Très bien caché sujet, une architecture moderne et jolie. Excellent registre!
Amitiés,
Carlos

Bonjour Joel, Excellent night shot. Your composition is good as you have encompassed the entire structure. Too often pictures do not do this. This is a most unusual building and your note was helpful. Regards, Roger

bonjour joel
bel exercice pour un architecte ,qui de plus est de Nîmes, la prise de nuit rend encore plus fragile et de licate cette structure preqsque en desequilibre qui s'avance vers le ciel.

bien vu
didier

Clementi (52514) 2009-12-09 11:35

Ciao Joel,
belle image de nuit bien vous dosez les lumières, très belle l'architecture mais ce qui me frappe plus c'est la vitesse avec laquelle il a été construit.
bien fait
Giorgio

Hi Joel

another well executed blue hour photo. we do not see this too often, an elongated structure with a low pov pointing upwards.
Very fine details, with fine light management.
Great work Joel
Thanks

Belle photo nocturne de cet étonnant bâtiment qui semble si fragile. Ton POV bien choisi accentue encore plus l'audace de cette création architecturale.

Bonjour Joël.
Dans le bleu de la nuit cet édifice semble une soucoupe venue de l'espace. Le symbole de la communication pour une médiathèque est bien fait et bien photographié.
Amicalement

Hi Joël
You French come up with some spectacular but crazy buildings with lots of wasted materials. This is a great photo given the lighting challenges.
cheers

Olá Joel,

The architecture of this media library is beautiful.
I like the way you made the building looks so long, and that takes your eyes thru the building.
Well done,
Filipe

Bonjour Joel
L'ensemble est bien cadré dans la diagonale sous ce ciel bleu nuit.Cette structure de "visu"me parait bien fragile!
Bonne journée

Bonsoir Joël,

Le toit qui a une forme géométrique spéciale est impressionnant. La prise de vue permet de voir les détails et les couleurs de l'architecture de l'immeuble. Le sujet est bien cadré. L'utilisation d'un trépied et d'une vitesse d'exposition de une seconde ont un bel effet sur les couleurs de l'image. Bonne soirée.

Pierre
