Isel building - Le Havre

Open to the urban distance and to the nearby attractive public space, the main north façade of the building is covered with large openwork luminous panels with projected images that contribute to the communication of the university, day and night. It is this panel that drives the rest of the composition.

The light wells are the lungs of this nocturnal body. Covering the void of luminous panels composed of individual lines close together, they allow a poetic or informative graphic expression by a set of moving images composed by the sets of leds while preserving the transparency of the pockets and thus the breathings of the facade (full in bricks).

The rest of the facades are made up of related elements animated by a graphic composition and a gentle rhythm.
The geometric motifs in relief from the university's graphic charter are lit sparingly so as not to densify the wall or saturate the reading of the subject. Cut by "claws" of light that emphasize their rectilinear geometry, the volumes appear less compact while offering a new reading of the composition when contemplated at night.
