LA PLACE DE L'EAU DANS NOS SOCIETES?

La demande était un office de tourisme concernant les Berges du Rhône. Cet office de tourisme devait  apporter quelque chose de différent, être un petit plus, dans un contexte urbain dense.
J’ai choisi de m’intéresser au rapport qu’ont les Hommes avec l’eau, et en quoi est-ce une denrée vitale. Les Hommes ont en effet toujours cherché à se rapprocher de l’eau (Mésopotamie, Venise, New York City, Lyon). Et ce sont dans ces lieux que ce sont installés les plus grandes villes, aux skylines vertigineuses.
L’office de tourisme, installé sur 2 étages, dispose de deux espaces. Un espace clos la nuit, qui permet de trouver des renseignements, un WC et un espace de détente. Un espace ouvert, ajouré pour cibler les vues lyonnaises, et des expositions sur toutes les grandes villes fluviales.

For this project, we could thinking about a tourist office for the edge of the Rhône. First subject that is carrying the importance of the architecture in the city, this building could be a plus for the city of Lyon, in a full urbain contexte.

I decided to work about the link between the civilisations and the water. Because of water is the most important commodity, I thought that it could be interesting to work about the relation that we have with it. Civilisations have searched to be near water (Venice, New York City, Lyon). And it's near water that we have the biggest cities, with its vertical skylines. I used it to imagine my building. My tourist office has two floors, one which can be closed, on the edge, and the second only opened, in the curb. The space which could be closed at night is where we could find informations. The opened space, which shows some beautiful views of Lyon, could be an exhibition about Lyon and its rivers, or about the relation between humans and water.
