Musée Regards de Provence

This guide to the Musée Regards de Provence traces a nineteen forty-five commission handed to three architects, among them a young Fernand Pouillon, to build a precision public-health station for the port of Marseille, complete with showers, steam rooms, and chambers rigged to fumigate arriving travelers. You'll hear why international health rules shifted only a few years later, and what that meant for a building engineered to process thousands. Look closely at the original nineteen forty-eight ironwork around you as you listen.
