CDP Theme Day "Facade" - Ateliers à Clos Lucé

This industrial looking building actually houses the music and dance studios (ateliers) on the grounds of Clos Lucé (see my earlier post).  I found this grey mix of shapes and textures interesting although it certainly stands in stark contrast to the formal 16th century mansion of Leonardo da Vinci nearby.  Leonardo might have agreed as he was "into" engineering and spiral staircases.

The first of every month the bloggers of City Daily Photo post a photo on a common theme.  Today it is "facade".

    This facade has an interesting mix of concrete, metal and wood.

      Yes, I agree. And this is really the "back side" of the building, but I thought it was more interesting than the formal entry.

      A choice somewhat eccentric but then so am I.

    Seems to have a lot going on here and quite different from neighboring big manor. Music and dance studio? Well, well!

      Yeah, who would have guessed there would be opportunities like these in a tourist site?

    Merci pour cette photo originale. On dit que beau est partout, et qu'il faut juste apprendre à le voir...ce que tu fais très bien en tant que photographe.
    Et je me suis amusée avec ta photo (mon email!).

    Perhaps it is the least I should think of: a dance studio LOL

      Of course. Doesn't everyone think of dancing when thinking of Leonardo !?!

    Je me marre toute seule. J'ai cru avoir la berlue en voyant le titre puis la photo... Mais non, le Clos Lucé n'a pas totalement changé ! Cool post!

      Non, il n'a pas totalement changé...juste une rénovation de la climatisation de la 16e siècle. Merci!

      Yeah, I love 'em whether they're wood, steel, or stone.
