CULTURAL CENTER CAMILLE CLAUDEL
The cultural center houses a day-care for the younger children, and a leisure center joined together in a large garden located closed to the city of Tours.
The project consists of rehabilitating the day-care and building a new leisure center, connected together by a translucent gallery.
The new concrete building is a range of classrooms dedicated to artistic activities for the children. They open on the garden by large windows, and are linked together in a fluid circulation
The new building is covered by a blue mineral skin that give him a strong “image” and contrast with the green surroundings. The gallery that links the two parts of the program is built in white translucent polycarbonate and create an in-between space during winter period.
The building and the deep blue color of the walls have been adopted right away by the children.
