Ville-Port,Saint-Nazaire The Historic Periphery |
|
| Authors: | Manuel de Solá-Morales |
| Abstract: | The harbour town of Saint-Nazaire on the Atlantic coast of Brittany in northern France remains divided both by its memories and its built environment. Manuel de Solá-Morales describes how his Ville-Port project seeks to address the structural, visual and mnemonic divisions that have grown up over time between a working port and seaside resort.
