|July - August 2016
The new Forum in Saint-Louis plays with a double scale: one of fractioning that links it with its urban context, and one of homogeneity that gives the building a strong and iconic design — specifically, a striking metal ‘shell’ in vivid orange
-
The façades and roofs are treated with an expanded metal (©Métal Déployé) mounted on big frames, with a very specific colour inspired by the building’s context, which combines orange-hued interlocking tile roofs and industrial brick chimneys recalling the industrial past of the site
The Forum of Saint-Louis, France, is set on a vast piece of land close to the city-centre in an area which mixes different scales and uses: it remains a residential area mainly made up of low-height houses, mingled with some characterless, largesized collective buildings.
