俄罗斯方块利用Nmes的特殊身份，创建了一座专为当代音乐而设的建筑群，该建筑群刚刚在一家飞行俱乐部和一个由低楼建筑、房屋和当地小型企业组成的地区之间的城镇入口处开放。

Tetrarc has fed on Nîmes’ special identity in order to create the complex dedicated to contemporary music that has just been opened at the entrance to the town between a flying club and a district made up of a mix of low rise buildings, houses and small local businesses.

以帕洛马的名字命名，该建筑群由两个音乐厅、12个排练和录音工作室、6个供演员居住的住宿区、行政办公室和所有重要的技术设施组成。

Given the name Paloma, the complex consists of two concert halls, twelve rehearsal and recording studios, six accommodation areas for the performers in residence, administration offices and the all-important technical facilities.

俄罗斯方块设计了一种滋补的形式，它从地面上冒出来，流向天空和城镇，仿佛有强大的内部力量在推着它的墙壁，并威胁要打碎它们。这个锌壳实际上是拉伸，磨损，甚至撕裂，在某些部分，以显示-就像一只超自然的眼睛-巨大的屏幕，宣布表演和艺术家。

Tetrarc has devised a tonic form which springs out from the ground and flows out towards the sky and the town as if some powerful internal forces are pushing at its walls and are threatening to shatter them. This zinc shell actually stretches, frays, even tears apart in some parts in order to display– like a supernatural eye – the giant screen which announces performances and artists.

这也是一个内部事件。把音乐会看作是艺术家和公众之间的对抗，四弧使用斗牛的颜色(黄色和紫色)作为门厅、楼梯和露台；两个大厅入口处的门厅里是红色的；斗牛士动作的几何图形用大厅墙壁上的凝固纹理来表示；观众坐在竞技场上的画面被投射到大厅的座位上。这座大厅的墙壁上陈列着一座巨大的雕塑，它的材质让人联想到苦艾人头发的圆润，其形状让人联想起一个巨大的齿轮，就像查理·卓别林(Charlie Chaplin)的“现代时代”(The Times)中的男人们所用的那样。

This is also an internal event. Viewing the concert as a confrontation between artists and public, Tetrarc uses the colours of the bullfight (yellow and purple) for the foyer, the stairs and the patio; red in the foyers at the entrance to the two halls; the geometry of the bullfighter’s movements are represented by the congealed textures on the walls of the hall; images of a crowd seated in an arena are projected onto the seats in the big hall. The walls of this hall display a giant sculpture whose material evokes the sleekness of the picadors’ hair, and whose form evokes a gigantic cog like the one grinding the men in Charlie Chaplin’s Modern Times.

对于四弧，建筑是在艺术表达的汇合点。这是斯皮尔伯格和卓别林电影的回声。视觉艺术是门厅的特色之一，它的构思就像一个可穿透的雕塑，打开了贝壳的内部空间，以及小大厅、工作室和表演者餐厅，这些餐厅对抽象的几何艺术进行了颂扬，而露台上的巨大重复条纹则让人想起了支持面小组的作品，这是一家著名的Nmes公司。这个设计是与音乐根源联系在一起的，这明显体现在对陈年陈设的选择上，这与上世纪60年代餐厅和表演者公寓的风格有关。

For Tetrarc, the architecture is at the confluence of artistic expression. There is an echo of the cinema of Spielberg and Chaplin. The visual arts are a feature of the foyer conceived like a penetrable sculpture opened out into the interior space of the shell as well as the small hall, the studios and the performers’ restaurant which plays tribute to abstract geometric art, whilst the big repetitive stripes on the patio evoke the work of the Support-Surface group, a well known presence in Nîmes. The design is linked to the music roots evident in the choice of vintage furnishings redolent of the 1960s in the restaurant and the performers’ apartments.

在规划的精确性方面，TetrARC的项目也被保留下来：不同的入口(公共、行政、表演者、材料)明显分开；大厅直接从宽敞的门厅通往露台、相关产品的销售区、衣帽间和电台演播室；这三个阶段是直接连接的，在一个单一的装载舱水平的卡车，提供设备.巨大的混凝土广场地板上的活动把风暴的目光吸引到了巨大的蓄水池上。在南特的工厂之后，四弧正潜入它的摇滚过去，制造帕洛马岩。

Culturally rich, Tetrarc’s project has also been retained in the precision of its planning: the different entrances (public, administration, performers, materials) are clearly separated; the halls are served directly from the vast foyer opening onto the patio, the sales area for associated products, the cloakroom and the radio studio; the three stages are directly connected and on the level of a single loading bay for the lorries that supply the equipment... and the activity on the floor of the immense concrete square draws the eyes of the storm towards the big retention pond. After The Factory in Nantes, Tetrarc is diving into its rocker past to make Paloma rock.
