Kyriad Mulsanne
Virage de Mulsanne, Mulsanne, France
On the circuit of the world's oldest sports car race, the 24 hours of Le Mans, this
project addresses questions of architectural scale and ‘speed.’ Architectural
speed is the manner or rate at which a building is viewed or experienced. For
this project, the high velocity at which this building will most frequently be
viewed led us to compose an ‘elevation of motion’ wherein the facade is
designed to be regarded in accelerated motion.
In order to break the homogeneity present in most
economic hotel buildings, multiple horizontal windows were scattered over the
facade in order to obfuscate the scale and nature of the building. The scale of the building is not immediately
clear, and the repetition and rhythm of the rooms within are impossible to read
from the facade. In addition, the playful placement of windows renders every
room unique; some rooms have windows on the floor or at the line of the
ceiling, and every room benefits from a unique framing of the world outside.
