Yesterday a wildlife and wetlands. Today the neighborhood Ginko and the
banks of an artificial lake to accommodate a piece of the city and its new
inhabitants.
The House of Dance, new public facilities, the court articulated the Tramway
Avenue and Reinson.
The heart of the building is firmly anchored to the ground. On his feet. The
main envelope is made of concrete and optimizes the constraints laid,
stability. Inertia and offered complemented by isolation from the outside are
guaranteed an excellent energy performance.
Around this core, is a wood frame and external support traffic corridors.
This structure, which soars and recalls stilt architectures edge Gironde also
support the textile covering with the sealing set.
The choice of this outer membrane is important in identity occurred. Tensions,
folded and double curves show the building as dressed, ready to unfold. The

that take place here. Between garnet and crimson, the color of the envelope is
greedy, sensual, deep.
Architecture ready to animate, to put in motion to welcome dancers and dance
tomorrow.
Meet the heavy (concrete) and light (canvas) seems problematic at the heart of
contemporary dance and we wanted the building to tell it.
