Extension of an existing building, this project is intended to archive documents from the libraries of universities and research centers. Maintaining the consistency of the existing building, our addition represents a natural extension, but detached to avoid distorting the original structure.
To ensure proper conservation, the project relies on three functional principles: two silo buildings to conserve the documents, a central gallery, an enveloping skin on the periphery. The extension is covered in veined stainless steel; its brightness contrasts with the dullness of the original aluminum.
