UNIT AND LEGGIBILE_Future City Business
Manuelle Gautrand won the competition for the construction of the City Administration, a program of 25,000 square feet of office , an underground car park with 400 seats and a restaurant business.

The whole idea is born and the structure of development process, which is a bit 'like a game of dominoes (and the patterns they reveal the original sense) use of opportunities elemental composition of a module to build a system. The horizontal dimension is the giving of preference to the continuum concept married, is to give the project the status of a signal unit and readable, is to give you the flexibility and the degrees of freedom needed to absorb trauma without the possible future developments.

The designer "put together" the various parts of the program and draws a large whole that is divided along the length lot. The dynamics governing the development dimension volume is generated from the fluidity of a gesture that draws space in a rational sequence of folds and openings reaching the ground through a low block and accessible to before recovering towards the 'up and give shape to large portals or projections projected above the ground.

Rhythm of these changes is underscored by treatment provided to areas that make up this continuum built. Four faces defining element base, three settled in the same way, glass, silver and transparent and a fourth of a bright yellow, bright and dull delegated to make visible and immediate logic of the fold.

Depending on whether it is used in vertical walls facing inwards, or horizontal parts, the choice of this color allows alternate the transparency of glass surfaces, to infuse a golden light to all spaces built on the meeting between "the silver and gold " a new story in the history of becoming entire neighborhood.
