ETOILE VOLTAIRE in Sous-station électrique Voltaire, Paris by Olivier Palatre architectesFebruary 12th, 2016 by Sumit Singhal
Article source: Olivier Palatre architectes 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.

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.

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.

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.
