Ainsi le boulingrin, ou jardin creux, produit l'impression d'un agrandissement par rapport à la surface plane.

CONT

Ouvert depuis décembre 1996, ce bâtiment, dû à l'architecte Dominique Perrault, symbolise la rencontre de la culture - avec ses quatre tours, comme des livres ouverts - et de la nature, avec le jardin en contrebas sur lequel donnent les salles de lecture. Une symbolique qui se retrouve dans la présence discrète du bois, qui adoucit l'architecture fonctionnelle, voire high-tech des petits immeubles de bord Seine.
