About the artwork

Laurent Dequick, a professional architect, often showcases buildings and architectural heritage in his photos. Here, he goes further by integrating blueprints of each building, these line drawings that represent all of the proportions of the various dots or lines of a figure. “This is the crux of architecture: between the idea and the construction,” he explains. “It all starts with a line, and from the line form must emerge.” It is the search for the perfect harmony of forms, materials, symbols, and uses.”

Anecdote

Tour Eiffel, Paris 

Each winter, the Eiffel Tower shrinks from 4 to 8 cm before returning to its original size in summer. But during intense heat, the expansion of the metal can alter the angle of the Tower. A record of 18 cm was recorded in 1976.
