Atelier blam is a multidisciplinary practice that operates at the intersection of design, fabrication and architecture. The studio specializes in conception and engineering, as well as manufacturing and precise
execution of ergonomic, functional and artistic forms. Completed in 2020, the pavilion Le Belvédère, designed by Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec, is the latest collaboration between the Bouroullec brothers
and atelier blam.
Flowing through Rennes’ historic center, the Vilaine river and the canal d’Ille-et-Rance are an integral part of the city, and linked to this fluvial heritage, the Saint-Cyr and Prévalaye banks and their former
towpaths, have become an ideal site for urban wanders. The project aims at reintegrating this area into the public realm and enhancing its environment in order to encourage new interaction with the city’s
inhabitants. The whole design draws an octagonal shape resting on a platform, linked to a central foundation positioned in the Vilaine river. Anchored 5.7 meters away from the shore, the installation implements the geometry of a corolla, encircled by a tubular structure. Its primary structure is composed of eight hand-polished stainless steel masts, each connected to the other by a set of horizontal ties.
An essential characteristic of the installation is a concurrent technical know-how. The pavilion utilizes tubes from the petrochemical sector, while integrated wind-powered mobile elements and specially developed luminaires, handmade in the Brittany region, soften the precise geometry and become a focal point. As they interact with their environment, they create rhythm and variation – a symphony in space that evolves with its surroundings. The sleek, slender lines of the masts form a contrasting composition with the play of light and movement of the elements adorning its structure.
Accessible from the dock via a ramp – a passageway invites visitors to encounter these changing conditions.
