The architectural work is characterized by volumetric assemblages and visual discoveries, contrasts and tensions, scale and trompe-l'oeil games. The contrast between black and white produces optical effects that oscillate between reality and abstraction, where two-dimensionality blends with three-dimensionality and the boundary between the extremes fades until it disappears

The urge to interact with the installation conveys the user through an architectural journey that ends in an experience completely altered by illusion. A journey through which the architect Jean Verville stimulates an interesting reflection on the concepts of coldness and seriousness often associated with contemporary architecture
