Glass museum, Sars-Poteries
A museum reflecting the rural and landscape qualities which make the genius of the place and the village. Composed in the shape of a U and overlooking an indoor sculpture garden opening onto the grove, it is designed as a museum-park: a building that structures and connects the entire plot and, beyond, the surrounding landscape.
On the scale of Sars-Poteries, the museum creates a new link between the two poles of the village; at the regional level, it returns to it a lost importance. The museum-park stages various museographic and urban routes which make it a generously accessible place.
