\nThe building, a constant musical pentagram. A place where rhythm and sequence, being vertical or horizontal, let tell the story it created. Often, and if the building is simple, the rules that compose it are also clear and precise; they build the identity of the place in time.
\nWe are convinced that architecture must read the pre-existing, turn its gaze towards the latter then towards the imaginary in order to write the possible metamorphosis that will turn us from the present into the future. That\u2019s why we believe in the importance to maintain, read again, stage the founding elements of the buildings but also to give him a new soul when life must reinvest and reappropriate the place.
\nWe chose to keep the base sequence (ground-floor \u2013 facade \u2013 rooftop) defined by horizontal lines that perfectly structure the rules and the proportions. We wanted to highlight the h\u00e9ritage with actions able to tell the dimension and the spaces in which we can find ourselves thanks to astonishment and wonder (the stairs), reflection and light (matter and very high spaces), the perception of the real (the leaned \u00e9l\u00e9ments, the openings on the roof).
\nRespect, dialog, soft metamorphosis. An identity that talks to the nature of the building with a new urban centrality\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
