Re: Friday Photography Blog #19 (4.00 / 2)

I think this is a view from under the Pont de Grenelle (hard by Jerome's place) upriver to what was then called the Pont de Passy (suitably decorated with arches for the occasion). So the colourful pavilions by the river would be on the long island a number of us have strolled along on ET meet-ups, on our way to that funny towaer in the background.

Postcards of the 1937 Paris Expo:

The exposition was dominated by the monster pavilions, facing off against each other, of Nazi Germany (left) and the Soviet Union (right).

Re: The Soviet pavilion (none / 0)

They both look like that Mussolini architecture.

Re: The Soviet pavilion (none / 1)

Well... Speer after this "glorious design", did help to conceive the "final solution"...! He is still felt as a stain in Architecture, even though the "mad scientist syndrome" could apply to a great number of egocentric architects !

It's, alas, not a new thing...
