LAN Architecture Project
EDF Archives Center
Bure, Saudron / France, 2011 Description
A strategic project providing a social and environmental positive impact on the region. The building fully integrates into the landscape as well as it meets environmental quality standards, a fundamental aspect for the EDF's building strategy. Various life forms exploit a morphological resemblance to an element of their context in order to melt with it. The idea for the façade's conception comes from a simple postulate. The project allows various interpretations, it tells different stories according to the distance or the proximity to it. Different elements are discoverable as well as different sensations. The new centre allows the documents' organisation and it also ameliorates the storage and the utilisation processes. These archives, on paper-based and microfilm-based formats, will occupy about 70 km of shelves. |
