Public Spaces Dinan Train Station / Fouquet Architecture Urbanisme

November 1, 2021 Andreas Luco 0

Program. The building takes part of the 2Ha public spaces in the Dinan train station area. It is a 10x30m covered hall, composed of a wooden mesh, which protects from the sun, earthen volumes, and an ETFE film which protects from rain. Four planted trees cross the structure. The project refers to the half-timbered houses and earthen constructions of Dinan. The framework plays with modernist architecture characteristics: regularity, weave, legibility of the skeleton, lightness, and with irregular spacers, an oversized transverse wooden beam, masses of earthen forms… The architecture extends the emotions of the “close to close” of houses to half-timbered, with uncertain and assured balance.
