Grand Théâtre de Provence

Always from the Gregotti Associati International studio, the Salles du Spectacles du Pays de Aix covers the typology of the La Piazza project. Quantitatively less consistent, the ventilated façade cladding is constituted by ca. 6,000 mq of yellow quarzoarenite. To this are added ca. 2.000 mq of pavements of the entrance formed by 60x30 cm tiles in Acquabianca (type of Carrara marble) and 60x10 cm listels in grey quarzoarenite. In addition, different types of stairs with embankments and paving with cubes complete the project. The work, both for its importance as cultural center of the territory, strongly supported by the mayor of the city that has given birth to Paul Cezanne, and for the architectural lines, has requested an important attention in its realization.

Curved and fastened lines that are added in a brave geometry, which have particularly engaged in the planning of the supporting structure of the ventilated cadding and in the realizations of the executive drawings by the pose of the pieces. The quality control executed, finally, has delivered to the city of Aix en Provence a work of high-quality headquarters of important cultural events.
