Summary

A brief history of the construction of the arts building "La tête au carré" in Nice, based on the work of the sculptor Sacha Sosno.

At 28 meters high, it is the world's first inhabited sculpture, a kind of brain for the administrative staff of the library, with three floors in the neck and four more in the square head.
