continuous effort of optimization. The guiding principle was sobriety of means, i. e., to mutualise, do more with less, use only materials from the catalogue that resonate with the strategy of availability emphasized by the architects. This made it possible to respect the tight budget and echo the utilitarian aesthetic of industrial projects.
All of the mineral materials from the demolition were crushed and reused on the site.
Added to this is the innovative peristyle, made of a net of hanging tiles, in homage to the know-how of everyone who worked here. It
surrounds the place and duplicates the buildings through an openwork threshold that comes alive with sunshine as well as lighting.
