Saint-Blaise Cultural & Sports Centre
Compact, the project becomes landmark in this dense neighborhood ; it saves ground, real resource of the area.
Transparent, the project becomes a link which establishes new perspectives and creates relationships between the different amenities of the neighborhood, by its location and materiality.
By the transparency and porosity of its urban hall, the centre invites, welcomes and links populations and uses.
Along its four faces, the project offers and stacks a range of materialities, more or less transparent, in relation with the different activities.
Flexible, the new centre is thought as a sustainable architecture.
On one hand, the project answers to the functions but doesn t freeze them ; independent from the curtain wall, its concrete structure carries a series of free floors, distributed by a core.
Generosity as a common denominator of all spaces, to allow reinterpretation and refurbishment following evolutions of uses and needs. In a compact volume, the project aggregates a large diversity of functions, spaces, uses, relations to the outside, materials...and displays them in a neighborhood where there is no diversity.
