It was preferable to design a structure that would house both the Regional Conservatory for dance and music (CRR) and the Multidisciplinary Cultural Space (ECT).
Using a simple system of doors and panels, both on the ground floor and the first floor, it is possible to provide shared access for the two organizations or to separate them.
The conservatory entrance is a fissure which floods light into the building, guiding visitors.
At the centre of the plot, the structure is not subject to the 25 metre height limit and can therefore accommodate a vertical development of conservatory life, towards the light, far off views and the trees on Place Stalingrad.
The conservatory includes a shared hallway, an auditorium and music and dance classes.
The shared hallway, the hub of the conservatory, sits at the heart of the plot and winds through the building’s foundations. Doors providing public access to the auditorium are spread out along the way.
