MORE THAN JUST A CINEMA - A CULTURAL PLACE IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
The project étoile voltaire proposes to visualize and construct the cinema of tomorrow by creating a space surrounded by different programs: La Maison du Cinéma with la Société des Réalisateurs de Films, 5 movie theatres, the hall conducted by la Bellevilloise, the restaurant solidaire Cuisine Mode d’Emploi with Thierry Marx’s lead and its vegetalized roof terrace.
It is a modular flexible space that can provide a stage of expression to other art forms and public debates through a daily active and varied program. Open from morning to night, this cultural venue of free access and movement will wake up everyones desire according to their age, taste, or budget.
TRANSFORMING ELECTRIC ENERGY INTO SOCIAL ENERGY.
The heritage value of the “sous-station Voltaire” is obvious and unprecedented within the urban tissue of the avenue Parmentier. The challenge is to adapt this strong industrial footprint building (glass façade, riveted iron structure, light towers) to its cultural mutation by designing a reversible architecture and a circular economy (recycle, reuse materials), while enhancing a new and valuable heritage.
A FLOATING VOLUME ON THE FORMER ELECTRIC SUBSTATION.
The extension project is conceived as a landscape that develops in plain city: an urban sight and a renewed imagination for the Parisians. Within the intensity of the city, this dreamlike landscape appears as a suspended parenthesis in time and space.
