This lecture explores the paradoxical symmetries in architecture, the art of memory, and the invention of Pierrefonds. It delves into the relationship between city, territory, landscape, and architecture, as well as the influence of nature on politics and modern summer. The presentation discusses the rustic house in front of Notre-Dame, olive tree greenhouses, and the representation of necessary elements for well-being. It also touches on anthropology, democracy, totemism, and the four ontologies. The lecture references various artists and movements, such as Kandinsky, Coop Himmelblau, Klee, Pollock, and Gehry, to illustrate the concept that art makes the invisible visible and challenges traditional notions of beauty.
