This auditorium it’s a new architectural icon to the suburban city of Bondi, in Paris outskirts. This is a project designed by the Parisian atelier PARC Architects.
Bondy has a loose and low-density urban fabric. The architecture of the building plays with the aesthetics of the hangar: a very simple square plan and an undulated metal skin. Unlike a traditional hangar, it opens to its context through a series of arches, letting in natural light and views. Inside, every space has a specific acoustics related to its function and its ambiance.
According to the projects’s responsibles, Valchromat "works like wood, it has qualities of acoustic reverberation. We used it to design the room of the auditorium. Is easy to work and to implement in terms of carpentry on the construction site. Valchromat is coloured throughout, which gives sustainability to the material and its color over time."
