AN OBSCURE VOID UNDERSCORES INSURRECTIONS' THREAT


THE PATTERN OF ARTERY, POINT OF FOCUS AND VOID  APPEARS BEYOND THE RIVER... 
(ARTERY BUILT IN 1854, CHURCH IN 1858)

In the poverty-stricken, tumultuous 13th:

        Zoom

The dome of the Pantheon, close to the city's center, appears in the background.

 Notre-Dame de la Gare, one of the churches built to encourage obedience.

The space now allows a market: There is room for stands, trucks, parked cars and traffic. 


The neighborhood shows other ways in which
its tempestuous past affects its present.
