As a generator of cultural and artistic activity on the Garonne Heights, the Cultural Center in the Palmer City Park proposes a remarkable integration between performance and landscape.© TSCHUMI
The project started with the unprecedented quality of the location for a major public facility, tucked inside a unique parcel of landscape and topography that defines la Garronne.© TSCHUMI
The facility is designed to accommodate 2,000 spectators and the largest of national and international tournaments.© TSCHUMI
The project’s challenge is to create an “extroverted” architecture that opens onto the park while both protecting and deferring to the natural quality of the site.© TSCHUMI
The project must simultaneously respect the landscaped park while bringing identity and visibility to Cenon’s cultural ambitions.© TSCHUMI
The pleated hulls of its three performance volumes are sheltered by an outer shell of perforated steel.© TSCHUMI
Their dimensions and geometries, designed for the greatest comfort of spectators and artists, settle into the topography of the park like a cluster of rocks on a gentle slope.© TSCHUMI
