The Joy of Parking
Posted by v on September 12th, 2007 
Building Design takes a look at the “joy of car parks” – including this beautifully faux-classical quasi-Piranesian garage, the Parc des Célestins, built in 1994 in Lyon.
Unable to resist the obvious, however, when I hear someone say “the joy of car parks” I have to quote J.G. Ballard: “Take a structure like a multi-storey car park, one of the most mysterious buildings ever built. Is it a model for some strange psychological state, some kind of vision glimpsed within its bizarre geometry? What effect does using these buildings have on us? Are the real myths of this century being written in terms of these huge unnoticed structures?”
