The rhythms created by architectural settings.
Buildings shape and materials, scale and proportion.
Influence on resonance of sounds, spread of light, space atmosphere and haptic perceptions.
Built space rhythms are quite constant because they change slowly during time. They are stronger in Place Jourdan because of the building site - which generates the overlapping of multiple layers -, and in the Agora Simone Veil because of the big scale of buildings.
