Installed at the heart of the permanent exhibition of Pavillon de l'Arsenal, this current newsflash, staged by the agency SANAA, allows to discover the project of renovation of Grands Magasins of the Samaritan: 80 000m ² completely remodeled to welcome a hotel, businesses, offices, social housing and equipment of early childhood.
Opportunity to discover the reorganization
of this building registered for the main part on the additional Inventory of
Historic monuments, this exhibition clears on problems of the contemporary city:
rehabilitation, coeducation, urban insertion and reconversion of uses.
Three models of study of atria and facade
of Rivoli Road, and a big model realized for the exhibition and visible from
June 24th, explain this symbolic project.
Comfortably installed on flower flesh drawn
by Sanaa, the visitors are invited to understand challenges in this project
since its general conception untill drawings and current details. Plans, cups, and
new images of the project, as well as a video revealing the current state of
the building which opens the doors of this site to the unique characteristics.
The exhibition also illustrates the
singular approach of the Japanese agency SANAA - Kazuko Sejima, Rtue Nishizawa,
- prizewinners of the Pizker Price in 2010 and who have just realized the
Louvre Lens.
