10 photo: Philippe Ruault photo: Philippe Ruault Centre Chorégraphique National Avenue Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart Aix-en-Provence This building, designed by French architect Rudy Ricciotti, is an atypical project, fascinating for the ambiguous play it generates between envelope and structure It is built on a very limited plot (35x18 metres), which it fully occupies The centre is spread over four levels: a basement containing an auditorium, the foyer and administration on the ground floor and rehearsal studios on the first and second floors Since the structure could not rest on any internal support, it had to be banished to the periphery It consists of a web of block-stained black concrete posts, positioned diagonally and criss-crossing at the horizontal levels, that encloses the whole of the parallelepiped volume Behind the concrete mantle is a second façade of large glass panels spanning the full height of each storey and providing the dancers inside with a panoramic view of the city Like a ghostly, charred silhouette, the volume emerges from a composite landscape photo: Philippe Ruault 2006 Rudy Ricciotti Mairie d'aix en Provence, communauté du pays d'aix Xavier_Gonzalez 10

13 photo: Hervé Abbadie photo: Hervé Abbadie Médiathèque Robert Calméjane Grande Rue Villemomble The site for the new library in Villemomble is that of a defunct minor château of which, today, only the estate gardens remain in the form of a public park The two main elements of the programme, four multi-purpose rooms for private hire and one multifunctional library, are separated from one another in order to reduce noise nuisance This programmatic schism creates an architecture that appears volumetrically fragmented from the garden but is more unified from the street side Schizofrenic, its urban face is an opaque linear screen composed of alternating panels of polished concrete and glass, evocative of stacked industrial containers In contrast, its park face is completely transparent thanks to the open volumes of the reading rooms The overall silhouette of the building is reminiscent of French mansions with their vast slate roofs The presence of the new building in the park fills a historical emptiness and awakens the submerged memory of the bygone château photo: Hervé Abbadie 2004 Brenac & Gonzalez & Associés Ville de Villemomble Xavier_Gonzalez 13

14 photo: Georges Fessy photo: Georges Fessy Ministere de la Culture Rue Saint-Honoré Paris The aim of this project was to regroup on a single site all the services of the Ministry of Culture, previously dispersed over 17 different locations around the city Francis Soler resolved the major constraints -disparity in dates and indifferent architectural style of the two existing buildings- into elements of unity and identity This unity is omnipresent in the internal space planning: the two buildings have been remodelled in their substance to require the obtained density, optimize work spaces and interconnect the different floor levels The other unifying element is purely architectural In the manner of Christo, Soler has wrapped the old buildings, walls and roof included, in a continuous organic-weave mesh of steel lace Without entirely effacing underlying differences, this stainless steel veil imparts continuity to the disparate volumes It hangs like a loose net detached from the elevations, its appearance changing in phase with the sun, shadows, day and night photo: Georges Fessy Public access unknown! 2004 Main designer, Interior architect Landscape designer General consultant Francis Soler Frédéric Druot Michel Desvignes Patrick Blanc Ministry of Culture Xavier_Gonzalez 14
