Ideas & Objectives The former Joué-lès-tours youth center was a blocky, opaque, inward-looking building that failed to interact with the surrounding public space and no longer met current standards and requirements.

新音乐设施的建筑设计符合一个三重目标：-向周围开放-改善不透明的建筑与现有建筑的整合方式-通过独特的建筑声明来强调该设施的喜庆性。

The architectural design for the new music facility responds to a three-fold objective: -To open the building up to its surroundings -To improve the way the opaque block integrates with existing buildings -To emphasize the festive dimension of the facility by making a unique architectural statement.

Composition 

Composition & Experimentation to improve its contextual integration, we have divided the structure into two parts functioning in different registers: a determinedly horizontal 2m50 tall concrete and glass base housing a fluid, open interior space, and a roof with the three main components of the design brief (the two performance areas and the resource center) bursting through it like opaque excrescences.

这种二重性是通过使用对比材料来强调的：内部坚硬(生混凝土、玻璃、不锈钢)和外部柔软(一种覆盖在外保温材料上的膜)。

This duality is emphasized by the use of contrasting materials: hard on the inside (raw concrete, glass, stainless steel) and soft on the outside (a membrane stretched over exterior insulation materials).

Volume 

Volume & Sensation With its complex volumetrics and textured outer surface, the new building stands out like a beacon in the urban landscape. the contradictory image we were aiming at is one of a unique yet familiar object that is challenging and yet invites appropriation: a sculptural design that refers to nothing that already exists, but which users can easily engage with, both in functional and symbolic terms.
