Médard and the Maritime Museums
The Médard Museum in Lunel and the Maritime Museum in Sète buildings designed by C+D Architecture are now part of a wide choice of cultural visits offered in Languedoc Roussillon.
Marseille Grand Mosque Building
Design: Bureau Architecture Méditerranée. Architecture integrated into its surroundings – respecting urban fabric and existing historic buildings. The building has a discreet character through use of the same type of stone, preservation of existing buildings and respect for alignments.
Aix University in Aix-en-Provence
Design: Dietmar Feichtinger Architects. “A major gesture is not always needed”. The architects develop a 1960s campus – adding value through restraint, carefully positioned cubes, and subtle facade rhythms, rather than “showy sculptural symbols”.
Harbour Master’s Office in La Londe-les-Maures
Located in the Var, in the town of La Londe-les-Maures, looking out to Fort de Brégançon and the Mediterranean Sea, the small 350m² building design by PietriArchitectes is reigniting the redevelopment of the port.
Breath Box in La Grande Motte, Hérault Pavilion
The main wall of “Breath Box” designed by NAS architecture is reflective, facing the horizon. It does not only recreate the image of the sea, it transforms by its own attributes. The wind comes lift the many reflective modules, providing a duality between visual experience and reflection ripple.
MUCEM Museum Marseille, France building
Design: Rudy Ricciotti. The Museum of European and Mediterranean Civilisations is the flagship project of Marseille’s on-going architectural and cultural renaissance. Located on Marseille’s seafront the inner structure has been covered with a delicate ornamental skin of filigreed concrete.
