More than any other artistic practice, architecture is governed by
strict rules of thumb
and intangible dogmas (functionality, stability, practicability, etc.). How,
from then on, could it be impossible? Starting from this paradox, this work explores the multiple paths taken by artists, from the Renaissance
to today, to make architecture "unreasonable". Works from all over Europe are brought into confrontation, emotionally powerful works
and particularly prone to reverie, to the illustration of the demiurgic power of the architect as well as to the inner odyssey of each of us.
