In detail
The lighting of the Pierre Bucher building, awarded the Rhône-Alpin Heritage Prize, oscillates between the traditional enhancement of the architecture through the design of its modenatures and a poetic opening towards an imaginary place.
On the one hand, the light becomes a revelation of the reliefs, supported by the projected shadows, and a guide for the eye. On the other hand, it breathes a new image of the place by proposing a double-reading, a new way of looking at the building, perceiving it, understanding it and feeling it.
The blue light in height marks a limit, a passage between the interior of the architectural courtyard and the aerial exterior. It invites the visitors to dream in front of the sublimated facades.
