« La tour, symbole du pouvoir » par Gabriel Rodriguez.

‘The Tower, a Symbol of Power’ by Gabriel Rodriguez.

Towers fascinate, impress and, at times, unsettle us. From the Mesopotamian ziggurats to contemporary skyscrapers, they defy gravity, reshape cities and capture the collective imagination. This lecture examines verticality: is it a quest for elevation or a demonstration of power?? Through history, techniques, symbols and controversies, we will explore what towers reveal about our societies and our ambitions.
