House of the Poem for the Right Angle
In the words of the architect Smiljan Radic:
I find contemporary architecture gives too much attention to the surface and the visual sense. I’m more interested in the ability of architecture to create an ambience, to give the air a certain quality, with noise, pasty light, suspended dust or an unusual temperature.

Gilles Alonso Explores Beauty in Symmetry
Symétrie du Spectacle by Gilles Alonso explores through photography the beauty of theaters symmetrical layout. The perfectly balanced plans of theaters are a result of the necessity for convergence looks, uniform sound propagation, and quick access to exits. By photographing these halls of center stage Alonso wants to show how architects have managed to create very different places working within the same set of constraints.
