Don Quichotte multimedia library, La Plaine-Saint-Denis

The Don Quichotte multimedia library, the first public cultural facility for the Plaine Saint-Denis area, flaunts a metallic shell, emblematic of the still recent history of the metallurgy industry of this site, which is undergoing complete transformation.

The library develops around a reading room that spans the building, crossing the old railway line of the La Plaine industrial site. The two key archetypes – saw-tooth roofs and metallic facades – provide the inspiration for a light-filled structure, with close ties to the town and the area that is currently undergoing transformation.
