Revival of the Silo
SIZE
300,000 sqft - 500,000 sqft
A strong and convincing gesture is made by this proposal for clearing the site of its secondary buildings. The move gives the silo a theatrical presence within the city fabric, augmented by flooding the site with water, thereby re-creating the silo as an island with multiple bridge-like connections to the surrounding streets. The space within the silo has been filled in with an arrangement of box-form artist’s studios, workshops, and classrooms. The industrial quality of the existing concrete silo is set in contrast with – and enriched by – the clean, white forms of these new, rectangular blocks. The blocks are organized to spiral around a central open space in a way that is rather free-form, so as to provide opportunities for a variety of internal open spaces. The new structures penetrate the perimeter wall of the silo in a way that eases the tension between the circle and the boxes, distinguishes them from the silo and from each other, and upholds the silo as the site’s most important feature.Hugues Leclercq (France)Grégoire Jobbé-Duval (France)Bénédicte Gourdon (France)Wang Li Chun (China)
