The new multi-purpose hall by TANK Architectes, French architectural studio from Lille, was inaugurated in the historic center of Calais in the mid-June of 2015. Made of steel, timber and aluminium it has a modular structure, which allows to modify the existing space according to its variable function.
Description of the project by TANK Architectes
A pliable covered hall on the Place d’Armes of Calais; held by a light long-range structure stating a horizontal line while the tower of the Place stands high in the background; the architecture offers wide openings and a great adaptability to different employ. The large accordion door opens like a curtain to a stage to re- veal partially or completely the life inside. The hall establishes its role as a vibrant urban architecture. When it is completely closed, wide glass breaches integrated in the folding door offer a constant view inward and out, and let the natural light flood in.
