"The design preserved the stone wall that gave visual structure to the whole site and that now serves as a link between periods of time."
"The forms of the gymnasium's facade were borrowed from those of the existing theatre, creating a harmonious architectural relationship."
"This sports center, called 'le SPOT', extends the theatre as if the two buildings were created at the same time."
"The new edifice honors the site's heritage while placing it firmly in modernity, reflecting a commitment to architectural coherence."
A contemporary sports center named 'le SPOT' was developed to modernize the existing gymnasium and theatre from 1960. The design preserved key historical elements, including the stone wall and original entrance portico, ensuring architectural coherence. The gymnasium's facade was inspired by the theatre, featuring tall vertical openings and alternating solid and glazed sections. This approach honors the site's heritage while integrating modern design, creating a seamless connection between the old and new structures.
