an 8 is ok....

The Brisac Gonzalez design, which was realized in December, comprises three volumes that Gonzalez refers to as ribbons, and which total approximately 56,700 square feet. Although these forms do not echo the mountainscape literally, they evoke the tectonics that produced Massif Central. In plan, the entryway is reminiscent of a plume, emerging from the building base and fanning outward; the base itself is rectilinear, and contains the auditorium as well as storage and back-of-house spaces like the loading dock. Above this pairing sits the third volume, representing the double-height volume of the 4,500-seat auditorium. This form bows slightly inward on its sides, and the architects shifted it from center, creating a slight tension by cantilevering it from the plinth asymmetrically.








“I would say that we like to challenge accepted building typologies,” Gonzalez says of his studio’s growing portfolio of work. That is also the case with Aurillac, he explains. “It is often the case that these types of buildings are characterized by a single expressive gesture usually legible from afar. Yet closer, these buildings reveal little else—they often lack articulation. We wanted the building to read at different scales. The ribbons articulate the building’s ‘natural heroic scale’ from afar, while the shape and textures of the ribbons give the building a different reading at close range.”

Nice building

yes

imaginatve....? :lol:

é mesmo, Tony ! Super...!

A ribbon of precast concrete panels inlaid with glass blocks envelopes a new hall in the Auvergne region of central France. Essentially a black box, the 4,500-seat hall will be used for theatre, concerts, fairs and sports events. The ribbon of back-lit panels gives the building an identity and maintains a scale commensurate with its function.

Up to mid-height the hall has a structure of in-situ concrete walls which are exposed internally. Above this, a precast system of T-shaped columns at 11m centres and 250mm-thick reinforced concrete wall panels takes over.







Roof trusses spanning the full 40m width of the hall span on to each column. The trusses sit on elastomeric pads to isolate them acoustically from the walls. The roof itself acts as an acoustic damper.

A standard insulated metal deck roof is raised off the purlins on brackets, with a second layer of mineral wool acoustic insulation beneath. The gap between the two is ventilated to prevent condensation and the junction with the walls is sealed.

Externally, the upper half of the building is clad in a 9m-high band of precast glass reinforced concrete panels set out in long curves. Each 50mm-thick panel is reinforced in two directions with stainless-steel rods to avoid future corrosion problems.The panels are inlaid with pyramidal glass blocks with a Fresnal lens surface which both reflects and refracts light.

The joints between the panels are sealed with rubber wiper seals to prevent light leakage. During the day the sun glints off the white concrete and outer faces of the blocks, while at night the facçades transform into shimmering curtains of coloured light.
