<\/div>\n \n This summer, the Donjon de Vez will host an exhibition dedicated to \"small\" examples of architecture or, as exhibition partner Philippe Gravier likes to call them, \"jewels\". The models and shacks presented are authentic \"gestures\", at the frontier between art and architecture : the reduction in proportions allows for more creativity and freedom, and calls for a renewed concept of habitat. The style and personal imagination of each architect are deployed and echo contemporary ecological concerns regarding the rational use of materials, ressources and available living spaces.\n \n \t
