To achieve this, Nuvel designed a huge 70,000 square feet atrium with five mobile platforms, which can grow up to 36 feet, modifying the surface area. “They are phases in a sense,” they said. These movable features will give curator and artists freedom to establish the functions of all sizes and sizes, as well as make different avenues through exhibitions. “This is what we wanted to play together,” the architect said. “Walls and walls and not walls.”
Nuvel offered the bird-i view of the art on performance to visitors with a ventilated galleria with a Walkway of about 13,000 square feet (or “route”, as he calls them) on three floors. At the time of our tour, every surface was in a ton of gray – neutrals that artists who want to show their shows can be overpants. The only exception was the auditorium, permanently coconed in a Crimson Hue that invites the cartier red. “There is an appearance that is stable,” Novel says, “and one that is designed for art.”
Novel placed the entrance of the foundation to the small west of the building with Regal Place du Palais-Royal, so that when visitors arrive, they are killed by the vastness of the space. To bring more light, he focused on the street-facing vitrines of the department store on RU D. Rivoli. Bay window creates a fishboal-like effect: who can see pedestrians and traffic zip inside, the royal Musi du laover can lump in the background, while passers-by can have a colleague and what is on the performance, a glimpse of what is on the performance. The inaugural show, which runs since August 23, 2026, works 600 by more than 100 artists who are previously displayed by the Foundation during their 41 -year survival.
As Nuel took the entire building in everyone, he was pleased with the final result. “This is an extraordinary place for contemporary art that has a contact with life,” he said. “Like a continuity.”
