Résumé
Monuments and their IlluminationThe fact that monuments are increasingly illuminated and otherwise prepared for night-time viewing represents a notable phenomenological rupture. With the advent of urban lighting, we no longer look at monuments in the same way. This technological change introduced a kind of distancing between what is contemplated and has simultaneouly systematized mechanisms of perception. Even if they are easily integrated into our daily environment, new modalities of spatial coding gives rise to new forms of observation and transforms our urban imagination.
