Concept/IdeaThe central idea for this project is to preserve the existent building. We consider it as a crucial part of the urban fabric and his demolition would mean a huge gap in the Rue de Seine street facade.ProgramThe program is the main point of Exploration since we are dealing with a pre-existance. In that way, we start to design a ground floor which establishes more relations with the city. The store has direct contact with the street and the class rooms are positioned in the ground level. The auditorium is one level below the ground along with the administrative areas. This is what we call “the daily uses”.The upper floors contain one restaurant and kitchen per each, opening the possibility for each to function as a specialized restaurant, with its own weekly or monthly specialty. We also enphasyze the kitchens and promote interior connections between them so the teaching space can be more dynamic.The last floor is a panoramic bar that we maximize with the glass walls. There is also a balcony in the top floor. We designed this part, thinking in the “nightly” use of the building.Projectmore information and images hereThis option was executed by adding one volume in the rooftop (very inspired by contemporary experiences of Herzog and de Meuron or Electrolux), that marks the fusion between the pre-existence and the new function of this new typological experience. The addition would be expressed in a raw copper or “COR-TEN” steel, which tactile and visual properties work very well with the pre-existent stone.
