In the ancient trading port of Rouen, architects Stéphane Bigoni and Antoine Mortemard just completed the rehabilitation and extension of a former industrial building. Transformed into a conference center and exhibition hall, it now hosts an auditorium, exhibition halls and offices,
all broken down on 1800 square meters. In space, a mesh of steel painted white dresses on the stairs to his full height and plays with light. Between opacity and transparency, the space unfolds, monumental, graphics and soothing.
