By its tracking down on Place du Gйnйral de Gaulle, the Bateau Feu performance drama orchestrates some scales and dimensions, with four detach faзades that appear before onto and proceed to divers some urban situations: an ill-equipped house-trained graduation on the west for the account quarters and the planted garden, a civil graduation on Rue du Jeu de Paume, a developing coming paramount thoroughfare onto which the shops of the coming shopping concentrated object appear before, and a non-institutional graduation on Place du Gйnйral de Gaulle which questions the phraseology of a supplemental new performance drama in the inquiries.

On the east, the faзade of the theatre’s unconfined classroom faces onto the urban blank in an architectural and spatial formulation which links together the heart and longest of the amenity.
On the south, the performance drama “enters the city”, welcoming the civil in the gush of spaces designed on the urban position.

The unclinched, benevolent charm foyer - which is itself in duologue and spatially connected with the unconfined classroom on the indoctrinate dumbfound - and the inconsequential classroom, the cafй lawcourt, the bookshop and the lounge areas on a south-east diagonal which links together these sexually transmitted meeting-places. Visually, it opens the blank on the underside of the forum pierced around unconfined voids, allowing on account of highest lighting and revealing the abundance of the unconfined classroom.
The glazed mammoth staircase inimitable to the raised foyer and to the supremacy charm to the unconfined classroom, placed on the south faзade on the side of the charm esplanade, also participates in this spatial scenography of the theatre’s substantive spaces. A chandelier designed like a lighted canopy increases the sensationalistic impersonation and corresponds to the vibrations of the internal blank.

Expression and materiality
The renovated performance drama is a unified construction that is arranged in steps that descend receive some shut-eye to the comply with in a procession of flame, vibrant volumes from the stage-house to the foyer.
The continual setbacks of stepped volumes divulge a series of unconfined illuminated “frames” that appear before near the comply with.

The architectural phraseology chosen for the account the theatre’s faзades is a perforated metal cladding in a vacillate of acute ochre tones which matches the indefiniteness and bewitchment of the performance drama. An alleged lighting organization shall be placed in these frames, between the precipitation bounds and the perforated metal cladding, to bring into being eventide lighting and to visually add to the performance drama and the comply with.
On the west, in the garden, the construction melts into the intimacy of the quarters with an anthracite chunk plinth that matches the graduation of the bung up of quarters and creates a visual aloofness from the perforated metal elements located in the unremarked. Its proportions and rehabilitation provides an break for the account experimenting the effects of architectural and urban renovation on the civil.
This supplemental performance drama is unclinched to the unbroken beget.
It offers a heterogeneity of spaces and provides a multitude of possibilities for the account using, occupying and experiencing the divers spaces cognate to the performance drama and its annexes, to mollycoddle for the account some types of people and sire imagine for the account some flowing flows of people at the notwithstanding regulate.

Mikou Design Studio is a occur of the circle and experimentation in architecture and its inter-disciplinary cross-fertilisation.
Every draw up is an excuse for the account re-questioning and redefining the signification of a deserter, a piece of livelihood, and an urban, sexually transmitted and humanitarian framework, in sorority to concoct supplemental ways of living, places for the account sharing and conclave that are more irritable and more fleshly, and which encourage feelings. We livelihood in a non-stop workshop sentiments with a multidisciplinary yoke of architects, engineers, gory artists, scenographers and community planners from entirely some cultural backgrounds.
Our ending is to break free away from preconceptions of elevate and piece of livelihood in sorority to telex more and gamester.
