新的文化中心矗立在城市的入口处，它的主轴-法国阿纳托利大道-与卢西安街交叉，这条街通向最近翻修过的郊区住宅区。这座建筑建在一片空旷的地块上，并没有在60年代的长方形住宅建筑和大道上的传统砖房类型之间建立任何关系。

The new cultural center stands at the entrance of the city, where its main axis – the avenue Anatole France – crosses with the rue Lucien Jonas that leads to a housing suburb recently renovated. The building was erected on an empty plot that didn’t establish any relationship between the 60’s rectangular housing buildings of the neighborhood and the traditional brick house typologies that are on the avenue.

The volume is a combination of voids and filled that interact with the broad range of the surrounding scales. It opens and closes, hides and shows, raises up and down.

粗糙的白色混凝土墙和玻璃幕墙保持了体积的一致性，并发挥了法国北部的特殊灯光。
