Lights on the Administrative Sector
Lucien-Saulnier building City Hall
Place Vauquelin
The lighting
here had to be sober, imposing and harmonious, to emphasize the political
significance and durability of this highly symbolic part of the city.
The lighting designers elected to bring together the three elements
as one majestic visual landmark.
A golden glow
surrounds and warms the subtle greys of the stone walls. The roofs,
in a deliberate contrast, are sharply outlined by cooler hues.
Special
lighting,
daring and festive with
its joyous colours, marks
the holiday season.
