Due to its location, history and programming, this cultural centre offers urban, heritage and cultural visits. Its convivial character encourages everyone to take the time to stroll around, to search and discover and to allow themselves to be surprised. A space that you enjoy strolling through without any restraint is a space to which you can easily lay claim. In order not to mark any threshold between the public space and the interior, the outdoor floor extends into the reception areas. The roof detachment materialised by a set of thick, weight-bearing powder-coated steel sheets gives a new identity to the centre. The closer you get to it, the more distinctly a wide horizontal breach appears in the right-hand side of the building. Inside, the courtyard patio is the obvious interface between the older buildings and the contemporary wing. Numerous programmatic entities open onto this central space and benefit from extensive, indirect lighting.
