"This restructuring project makes it possible to intensify a strong architectural gesture" - this briefly describes the basic idea of our Paris office for the renovation of the former, modernist Peugeot headquarters (architects Sainsaulieu) near the Arc de Triomphe. The project offers the central Parisian urban space an exciting 110-metre long façade. In this area, the existing concrete structure forms the backdrop for an innovative window system. Its rules are as simple as they are intelligent: simple openings alternate with box-type windows set at different depths in the concrete structure. The elementary moments of the architecture are realised in this way: rhythm, plasticity and self-chosen order come together to form a façade that gives the address and the "Grande Armée - l1ve" project a strong physiognomy.
辦公樓及其廣場(chǎng)和會(huì)議中心從Avenue de la Grande Armée一直延伸到Rue Pergolèse,用地內(nèi)部包括兩個(gè)庭院,周邊的街區(qū)被寬闊的綠地分割開(kāi)來(lái)?,F(xiàn)有的主要結(jié)構(gòu)得到了保護(hù)利用,辦公空間的設(shè)計(jì)都基于原始結(jié)構(gòu)。
The office building with its agora and a conference centre extends over two courtyards from Avenue de la Grande Armée to Rue Pergolèse with a perimeter block development that has been broken up with generous green areas. The existing primary structure was utilised and the office space was designed to be use-neutral.
未來(lái)回收利用:該建筑項(xiàng)目展示了回收利用的可能性,以及可復(fù)制的經(jīng)驗(yàn)。5165噸拆除的建筑材料(占舊材料的 92%)被回收利用,其中80噸材料被重新用于建造,如門廊的地板。在改造過(guò)程中,設(shè)計(jì)師特意避免了使用復(fù)合材料,而更偏向使用無(wú)需昂貴改造即可在日后重復(fù)使用的簡(jiǎn)單材料。因此,木材、各種類型的混凝土和金屬成為該項(xiàng)目的主要組成部分。建筑的能量來(lái)源包括地?zé)峋?、屋面光伏板,還可以從巴黎市政管網(wǎng)獲取供暖熱源,而巴黎市50%的能源同樣來(lái)自當(dāng)?shù)乜稍偕茉础?br />
Recycling for the future: The building project showed the possibilities and problems of recycling and what can be learnt from it. 5,165 tonnes of demolished building fabric - 92 % of the old materials - were recycled. 80 tonnes of the material was reused elsewhere in the building, e.g. for the floor in the gallery. Composite materials were deliberately avoided for the remodelling measures and simple materials were used that can be reused at a later date without a costly conversion process. Wood, various types of concrete and metal therefore now characterise the feel and appearance of the project. Energy sources for this include geothermal wells, photovoltaic panels on the roof and if required, local heating from the city of Paris, which obtains 50 per cent of its energy from local renewable sources.
The project, with its 35,000 square metres of gross floor area, transforms the working world into a living world: open office structures, the former showrooms on the ground floor and spacious open areas combine to create a cosmos that is only partially dedicated to traditional desk work. “Restructuring can therefore create a new place with a differentiated, attractive use that meets the requirements of today and tomorrow," explains Anne Speicher, Manager of the Paris office of Baumschlager Eberle Architekten. The prerequisites for these interventions were laid out by the modernist architects Sainsaulieu, and Baumschlager Eberle Architekten developed them further. In 2024, the project was honoured with the Austrian Green Planet Building Award by the Republic of Austria.
