A couple of weeks ago the National School of Architecture - Versailles branch held an open day for future students.
---------------------------------
Il y quelques temps, l'Ecole Nationale Supérieure d'Architecture-Versailles tenait portes ouvertes.
I just love French doorways!!!
ReplyDeleteAnd...? Did you attend the "open day"?
ReplyDeleteIt appears this was taken in the evening or when it was fairly dark outside...did they have lights on the building.
It is a truly impressive entrance which I guess is appropos for a school or architecture.
You are so funny! Practice my pedaling! Actually, I do need more practice!
That open day looks sooo inviting!
ReplyDeleteNice pop of color.
ReplyDeleteNice building, did you go in and will we see more?
ReplyDeleteokai! pour la visite
ReplyDeleteA good way to engage the community. Nice design with the red banners on the yellow-ish stone wall.
ReplyDeleteThose red banners really make it pop. I hope you went inside for a while.
ReplyDeleteWas this open to the public or a members only gathering?
ReplyDeleteI like the framing in red and those huge tree trunks! Sounds like an interesting visit too.
ReplyDeleteIt looks very inviting to step through.
ReplyDeleteA door I would have enjoyed entering. Thanks for sharing it with us.

Nice contrasts. Do all places like this have an Open doors day? I know Edinburgh does and so you're able to get into places that are normally closed to the public.
ReplyDeletesur les photos il vaut mieux les portes fermées
ReplyDelete@ all: no I didn't go in, no time. It was an open day for future students.
ReplyDelete@ Jacob: early afternoon shot.
Une porte prévue pour les grands, très grands architectes...
ReplyDeleteI like the place, the doorway and the French acronymes...
ReplyDeleteAdorable entrance!
ReplyDeleteI imagine my daughter Marina would love visiting this place, to feel the students atmosphere!

Well, their country certainly offers them plenty of excellent examples to study!
ReplyDeleteCool doorway.
This is interesting. The literal translation (I believe) is 'open doors'. In the States, we would call an event like this an 'open house'. From the exterior, it looks like a terrific place to study architecture.
ReplyDeleteVery interesting. I love the red banners. MB
ReplyDeleteJ'aurais aimé faire l'école du paysage de Versailles mais elle était en restructuration à mon époque > porte close.
ReplyDeleteMaintenant c'est too late for me
I love arch in architectural design.

What a striking entrance.
ReplyDeletewonderful glimpse.
ReplyDeleteOh I love the rouge against that wonderful stone building. Lovely shot my friend.

That's strong RED. It brings the eye to the doorway.
ReplyDeleteThose red banners almost seem Chinese, and look great on that old yellow stone wall.
ReplyDeleteHope this beautiful building inspires the future architects to build beautiful structures!!
ReplyDeleteI like how the banners and the school name on the archway match the car parked outside. :)
