GALERIES LAFAYETTE
The large folding of this canopy, which gives more height and breathing to the lower facades,
allows balancing the general proportions of the building. The stone is now displayed in more
reasonable proportions. The more the glass folds approach the angle of the building, the more
they expand, as if they were trying to reach passersby on the Republic Square. The stone is now
seen through the glass filter, becoming the setting of a new modernity.
