SCÈNES DE NUIT examines the role of night in the construction of contemporary cities and societies, illustrating how architectural theory and critique are still associated with sunlight and diurnal paradigms. The result of the eponymous exhibition held at f'ar Lausanne in 2019, this book reflects upon the spaces, activities and media deployed in night culture, using available footage, records and transcriptions as its main display platform. The five chapters SHOP, FILM, CITY, CLUB and FOOD explore practices and rituals on the nocturnal space-types of corner shops, cinemas, streets, nightclubs and restaurants, becoming experimental laboratories to focus on and question the relationship between night and architecture.
