Books and architecture: the impossible symbiosis?

Sunday 6 November 2022, 15:30

The construction of the Library in the 1970s by the architect, Jean-Marc Lamunière resulted in an innovative building for its era.

The renovation carried out in 2016 have it a renewed glow. How do the missions of the Library fit in with this architecture?
