The architects Massimiliano<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0Doriana Fuksas<\/a><\/strong> have taken part in global renewal for Marseilles commercial and industrial Harbour called\u00a0“Euromediterran\u00e9e”<\/strong><\/em>,\u00a0which is an\u00a0urban development that involves various international architecture competitions.
\nFrom that\u00a0comes the EUROMED CENTER\u00a0<\/strong>an urban mixity within more than 58\u00a0000 s.q.m
\n<\/strong>which includes 4\u00a0office buildings\u00a0(Astrolabe, Calypso, Hermione e Floreal) certified HQE \u00ae (High Environmental Quality) and labeled Effinergie-BBC (building low consumption),
\n4* Hotel Golden Tulip of 210 rooms\/suites with swimming-pool, solarium terrace and fitness center,\u00a0a new pedestrian street with shops and services,\u00a0a\u00a0cinema complex and\u00a05000 m2 of new public green area.
\nThe original design,\u00a0that dates back to 2006 and origins from the competition,\u00a0has led today to a new\u00a0starting point for the new central business district of Marseille, similarly to other projects in the area such as the Docks by the\u00a0old\u00a0team 5+1AA.
\nThe entire complex seems to be participating in this desire for a city in motion, always \u201cin progress\u201d<\/strong>, everything seems to play with the light that delights in its caresses to enhance and transform the sweetness and roundness of volumes and surfaces. The interior spaces are equally as dynamic <\/strong>with the striking design of the public and private spaces.
\nIn order to develop such a complex project, Studio Fuksas\u00a0<\/strong>involved consultancy services with the following practices: Michel Desvigne Landscape Paysagiste, Mathoulin & Jardin Architects, Lehoux – Phily \u2013 Samaha Architects, International d’Architecture.
\nLooking carefully at every building of the complex,\u00a0the\u00a0Golden Tulip\u00a0<\/strong>with a fa\u00e7ade facing the Mediterranean Square consists of a volume originating at the base of the tower, thus providing a base for the office building. The office building consists of two elements: the tower and the bar building. Having a simple geometric form, it was thought as a volumetric response to the Silo thus forming an urban gate.
\nThe Jardin d’Arenc<\/strong> is equipped with the capacity to welcome, day or night, the pedestrians at any moment or the city users in arrival for events of interest.
\nFurthermore, it is important that a constructed assembly of this size also have open, welcoming and freely usable spaces. The Environmental quality can not be restricted to the vegetation of the exterior and interior spaces, but must also be integrated in the design of the structures and their skin. The fa\u00e7ades of the office and hotel buildings (west exposure) are treated with solar protection and acoustic protection systems, in view of the proximity of the expressway, particularly at the Boulevard du Littoral.
\nThe Multiplex<\/strong> participates with its sculptural cover to give the architectural ensemble a strong visual presence in the redesigned urban landscape. The fluid forms are voluntarily integrated into the set of constructions that slip into the wind.
\nThe entire complex seems to be participating in this desire for a city in motion, always \u201cin progress\u201d<\/strong>, everything seems to play with the light that delights in its caresses to enhance and transform the sweetness and roundness of volumes and surfaces. The interior spaces are equally as dynamic <\/strong>with the striking design of the public and private spaces.<\/p>\n

“Thus we make our contribution to the architectures which constitute the city and which have always nourished and enriched it, with urban mixity <\/strong>and architectural variations. But beyond reality, beyond constraints, we have sought to endow this project with a poetic dimension.”<\/em><\/p>\n
