BB AU CARRE

This architecture is noticeably standout in the neighborhood. The design is absolutely stunning, creative and bold. Think out of the box. We could not entered the building but spent some times in the garden which was very calm and tranquil.

This building looked unreal so I had to check it out in person . It was even bigger than expected. It is not open to the public, but houses seven floors of the Louis Nucéra library administrative offices.

Pretty place to walk around during golden hour!! The architecture of this library is super cool!

French artist Sasha Sosno designed this massive sculpture for the Central Library in Nice. The work, titled "Thinking Inside the Box," contains a clear yet important message. At a staggering 85 feet tall, the massive chinned cubic sculpture actually holds three floors of books in a perfect combination of art and education.

July 2017: This is a 30 m high and 14 m broad monumental work which artist Sacha Sosno gifted to the city of Nice. Through its most original contemporary architecture, La Tête Carrée is today one of the most famous monuments on the Côte d'Azur. Inaugurated in 2002, it is not open to the public, but houses seven floors of the Louis Nucéra library administrative offices. It stands in the heart of the city in the shape of a giant bust on which a cube is set at mouth level. At night, it is illuminated and regularly changes colour according to events. Sosno likes to bring humanity into geometric shapes and has produced many works of this kind all over the world. On the Côte d'Azur can be found his sculptures "Regard sur l'Arénas" [Look at Arénas] at the heart of Nice's business district, the Venuses embedded in the walls of the AC Hotel by Marriott and the "Guetteur" [Watcher] at the Polygone Riviera centre.

What a beautiful sculpture. Very moving.

Square head by Sacha Sosno, a magnificent piece of art. Has 7 floors I read, 2 are in the neck... hehe! Great place to see and nice selfie spot if you're passing through Nice, along the tour bus route so definitely unmissable. Opposite the Acropolis so short walking distance if at the congress palace or Palais Des Congres.

Modern Art Installation is a commentary of a french insult for someone who is boring. Very interesting to see for the size of the piece. The only drawback is that the surrounding area is being renovated and makes access to the sculpture limited.
