Air and space museum

As a global strategy, we wanted to accompany the airport of Le Bourget in its objective of communicating a brand image. Lossier Hangars are built in 1921, witnessing technics feat of concrete. They are today classed. The project proposes to reinvest them as exhibition hall for the museum. A hall will be design to unite those volumes and shelter the rest of the collection. The hall is facing the national road, giving it the silhouette of the hangars to see, and opening on the exceptional view on the tarmac. This form generates a double curvature; structurally build as a hyperbolic paraboloid constructed by a mesh in steel. Low points of this structure are articulated in concrete foundation drain rain to the ground. This project has been selected to be exposed in Airport Le Bourget.

URBAN ANALYSIS

The global strategy is to work on the national freeway to offer a new facade to the airport.

Today, the city and the airport are separated by 2 physical limits: the national freeway and the "aero-city", a long layer exclusively centered on itself. Moreover, this frontier is difficult to cross. Any dialogue between the city and the airport activities is discouraged, and the periphery of the city of Blanc-Mesnil suffers from it.

This project has several axes: the first is programmatic, updating the programs used by the citizens and the airport staff so they can benefit from all the existing services. The second is geographic, identifying strategic points of liaison where to develop those programs.
