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. 5, record 1, French, - jardin%20enterr%C3%A9

Héritier des réflexions de F. Perret, Le Corbusier (1887-1965) déclarait dès 1927 à propos des «toits-terrasses» : «au lieu de perdre son terrain en y construisant sa maison, on le double». Auteur d'une «théorie du toit jardin», il fut le plus radical d'un groupe d'architectes utilisant la toiture-terrasse de façon plus ou moins manifeste dans les années 1925-1935. 1, record 2, French, - toit%20jardin
