The Temple of Monte Grisa sits high above the city

The Temple of Monte Grisa sits high above the city of Trieste, a brutalist church dedicated to the Madonna. Inaugurated in 1966, the architect Antonio Guacci imaginatively created a honeycomb like design repeated constantly throughout the site.

Described early on as a national monument more than a local endeavour, its location had an explicitly political aspect, built on the mountainside on a site which allowed it to be seen beyond Italy’s border by its neighbour Yugoslavia. Guacci was said to have been inspired by the sketches of the politically savvy Antonio Santin who had been appointed Bishop of Trieste in 1938 following on from several years in Croatia. He remained in post throughout the war and beyond. Born in the Austrian-Hungarian empire in what is today Croatia, by the time he was ordained as a priest in 1918 the repercussions of the collapse of empire was clearly felt. ‘Hapsburg Trieste’ became part of modern Italy. Santin witnessed the birth of the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia in 1945 part of the seismic change in the region. Concerns about the impact of Tito’s Communist Yugoslavia would have played a role in the decision to build, at the height of the Cold War.

The geopolitical landscape changed on the 27th April 1992, when the communist government in Yugoslavia was dissolved.

Nanterre’s Tours Nuages, the Cloud Towers

Tours Nuages is among the most original pieces of architecture built during the Trente Glorieuses

One of Nanterre’s most original designs is a poetic cluster of buildings, the Tours Nuages, which best translates as cloud towers, a nod to their shape and design. This social housing complex was built between 1974 and 1981 by Émile Aillaud, with the artist (and Aillaud’s son-in-law), Fabio Rieti and sculptor (and Aillaud’s daughter) Laurence. It is among the most original pieces of architecture built during the “Trente Glorieuses”, the 30 years between 1945 and 1975 when the French economy revived and grew and the government built a large number of homes to solve the housing crisis. Beyond the Peripherique, as modern Paris sprawled outward, a series of suburbs were constructed or developed to house the poor, the immigrant the unemployed, the unwanted.. read the full post and more images on Greyscape.com with thanks to @ultrarchitecte
