By Pierre Thibault, François Cardinal. 2016

et des villes. Il est étonnant de constater la force de l'émotion vécue devant un paysage à couper le souffle, dans une maison superbe ou sur une place publique ouverte et accueillante. Et si la beauté rendait heureux? Si elle était nécessaire au bonheur? C'est la conviction que partagent l'architecte Pierre Thibault et le journaliste François Cardinal. Ils en font la démonstration dans un dialogue pénétrant qu'ils mènent dans cinq lieux où beauté et bonheur se côtoient et se nourrissent. Quatre de ces espaces ont été créés ou aménagés par Pierre Thibault. Le cinquième, Copenhague, est une ville réputée pour son innovation en architecture et design urbain. Ce livre inspirant donne envie de côtoyer la beauté au quotidien et de bâtir un environnement où l'on puisse se poser, se réjouir et vivre ensemble. 2016.Passagère du silence: récit (Ldp Litterature Ser.)
