# SEA /// Introduction

"Homme libre, toujours tu cheriras la mer", wrote Charles Baudelaire in his Fleurs du Mal (L'Homme et la Mer), which basically mean that free men will always love the sea. For this coming month of july, we decided to create a new thematic about the sea. Once again we don't know exactly where we are going, but this theme appears to us as a large field of more or less architectural experimentation, which may be a bit low-mediatised. So let's dive and we'll see what we'll fish...picture: Jacques Rougerie's submarine villages
