Guyane’s memory center is a project who holds a deep and resonant identity. It’s a lively medium who gather and give strength to local history. The construction helps two significant aspects: physical and symbolic:

–  Protect valuable and precious documents who makes the Guyane’s cultural and historic heritage, inside a technical shelter within cooling triple skin.
– Give a genuine symbol to this heritage belonging to the Guyane’s spirit, through an interpretation of a “pictural” local and popular architecture “le Carbet” kind of roofing sunshade providing rest, shadow and fresh air.
