French term

marquer les esprits et l'espace

French to English Art/Literary Architecture
This is the title of a presentationon a particular type of brise-soleil which is supposed to be an "architecture de tous les contrastes," as it creates plays of light and shadow, moonlight and daylight, etc etc etc

I'm thinking along the lines of "striking" and "stands out," but need a "catchy" title. Any suggestions?

Thanks!

capturing space and minds

This would be my first stab without knowing whether this is the full title - since capturing works on two levels here - almost captivating the mind and encapsulating space like a butterfly

enlighten your room and your mind

Something like 'captivate space and imagination' might work too.
