Summary:

Fruit du travail commun de trois architectes - le Français Bernard Zehrfuss, l'Américain d'origine hongroise Marcel Breuer et l'Italien Pier Luigi Nervi - le siège de l'Unesco est inauguré à Paris, le 3 novembre 1958 à la suite d'une consultation qui rassembla les plus grands noms de l'architecture mondiale. Leur réalisation est l'une des plus belles prouesses de l'usage du béton armé. Au bâtiment principal - la célèbre " étoile à trois branches " - s'ajouteront par la suite trois autres édifices.0A l'ombre des bâtiments, Isamu Noguchi réalise son fameux jardin japonais, ou " Jardin de la Paix ". Pendant le chantier, un " comité pour l'architecture et les oeuvres d'art " est mis en place pour sélectionner des artistes chargés d'exécuter une oeuvre monumentale pour un emplacement précis : on compte ainsi des sculptures d'Henry Moore, d'Alexander Calder et d'Eduardo Chillida à l'extérieur, et à l'intérieur une céramique de Joan Miró ainsi qu'une fresque monumentale de Picasso.
