At the mouth of the Vieux-Port, a black cube wrapped in concrete lace. The architect Rudy Ricciotti called it a moucharabieh, after the latticed screens that filter sunlight in traditional Mediterranean houses, cast here in fibre-reinforced concrete so fine it looks knotted. A 115-metre footbridge runs from the roof across to Fort Saint-Jean, the seventeenth-century fortification on the other side of the channel. The shadow the lattice throws on the floor inside moves all day. Across the harbour, Notre-Dame de la Garde sits on her hill. People come for the collection of Mediterranean civilisation gathered into one place, and stay for the way the building handles light.

Slowly infused into the ceramic surface under high heat and pressure, in our family studio in Knoxville, Tennessee.
