Summary: For those who love both New-York and Riviera
Comment: Two Spoerry masterworks are harbours. One became famous in the 70's when the French discovered they could avoid spoiling Provence landscapes and sea-shore by building marinas instead of leaving anyone build his own house. This reference to Le Corbusier theory on public space is quite appropriate at Port-Grimaud, a few miles away from "La Cité Radieuse" from Le Corbusier in Marseilles. When I discovered Port Liberté some years ago it was not finished. It already had this flavour of adventure that made Spoerry previous work attractive. Spoerry is not only an architect. He also patented electric cars that strangely look quite similar to Smart vehicles... This book tells you a lot about the genesis of Spoerry works. You will like it.
