Bouroullec brothers create folly as point of contemplation above Rennes river
French designers Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec have created the slender Le Belvédère pavilion above the River Vilaine in Rennes, France, which is lit up by globular lights at night.
The brothers designed the folly, which is accessed by a footbridge from the Quai Saint-Cyr, to be a place of reflection in the centre of the French city.
The designers chose the location as it was surrounded by a mix of both the city s contemporary and traditional architecture.
