La Seine Musicale
FranceCompany Name: Werey Stenger Plâtre & Staff
Project description
La Seine Musicale, designed by Shigeru Ban and Jean de Gastines, was thought in respect of the site and its industrial past. Its curves follow the shape of the downstream tip of the island. Its ambition is to be part of an eco-responsable future. The Auditorium with an audience capacity up to 1150 people, is the room dedicated to non-amplified music. Its acoustic was studied by Nagata and Jean Paul Lamoureux to guarantee the best possible sound reproduction for the audience.
