A winning design in the contest for
the Albi Major theater in France, came from the well known office Dominique
Perrault Architecture. The theatre is going to stand at the edge of historic
centre where it will become a cornerstone for a new network of public spaces
and cultural objects. Simple geometry of the object lines the Général de Gaulle
street and creates two roughly triangle plazas oriented towards the new
cultural alley.
The concave cube shaped object will
be home to a large auditorium, galleries, experimental rooms and a roof garden,
where a restaurant will offer views of the cityscape and surrounding nature
along with refreshments. Concrete covered with bricks both insides and out were
chosen as the main building material. As a contrast to the solid walls, the
architects designed a mantle of copper meshwork, which dresses the orthogonoal
theatre in gentle curves.
