LES ARCHITECTES FABG
To address the variety of activities and occupations , the walls were lined with a device of vertical MDF slats of 19mm x 75 mm , spaced by 38mm and arranged in front of absorbent panels of rock wool , 50 mm thick and concealed by a black geotextile fabric . This device , called an acoustic resonator , has been successfully used in multifunctional venues such as Mont-Laurier , and it offers the advantage of keeping the acoustics of the room alive , while canceling the risks of unwanted floating echo or excess reverberation for amplified shows .
The exterior layout provides citizens with a multifunctional civic space that can be easily transformed . The open space was maintained without planning constraints , energized by the diagonals in the paving that continue inside the entrance hall , and framed by fevers that provide the necessary shade to minimize the heat island effect and offer citizens a pleasant environment in all seasons .
