Atlas des Régions Naturelles Vol. 3

Atlas des Régions Naturelles Vol. 3 – While crisscrossing these small geographical and cultural entities that have sometimes fallen into disuse in the face of the administrative division of France, the duo collects the visual elements of what makes a region. They associate indifferently the particularities impelled by man – traditional architectures, toponyms, local aesthetics, traces of history – and the natural motifs, such as reliefs, landscapes, colors, vegetation, etc.

In a transversal way, the authors propose thematic entries as many formal typologies, such as Training Architectures, Discotheques, Public Geometries and Infrasculptures for the present volume. Spread over the entire territory, these categories transcend natural regions and illustrate the complexity of France as a global entity.

In 384 pages and over 500 images, l’Atlas des Régions Naturelles Vol. 3 brings together 12 “portraits” of natural regions, punctuated by 4 thematic entries. Like each volume, the work is accompanied by a map as an index at the end of the volume.

Chapters of the third volume:
Pays d’Auge, Brie, Camargue, Training Architecture, Cézallier, Combrailles, Côte des Bar, Discos, Pays de Montbéliard, Outre-Forêt, Revermont, Public Geometry, Rochefortais, Pays de Serres, Pays toulousain, Infrasculptures.
