Pierre-Louis Faloci Scuola di Danza e Musica nel castello di Laboissière, Fontenay-aux-Roses, Francia

Pier-Louis Faloci’s project for the castle of Laboissière in Fontenay-aux-Roses, proposes to ascribe new functions to the castle and to build additional structures for the dance and music school that establish a dialogue with the existing parts of the ancient building. A measured project which, using few elements, some underground and others emerging from it, manages to reconstruct a bone structure for the dismembered body of the castle. Faloci proposes an architecture of proximity that both senses and translates the surroundings into form and space while also recognising a primarily design value in the layering of the landscape.
