The Mériadeck district
Designed in the 1960s-70s, Meriadeck is a unique raw architectural ensemble in Bordeaux. Footbridges, empty esplanades, massive buildings made of glass and concrete: a graphic urban setting.
The Cité du Vin and its surroundings
Located in the Bassins à Flot district, the Cité du Vin offers iconic contemporary architecture. Just a short walk away, the port wastelands, cranes, converted hangars, and new buildings offer a mix of atmospheres: post-industrial, maritime, eco-urban. A sector rich in contrasts and textures.
The Basins of Lights / Submarine Base
The former submarine base in Bordeaux has been transformed into a digital art center, it is a monumental decor in raw concrete, full of history, silence and shadows. The indoor water basins, the immense volumes, the symmetrical perspectives and the play of light natural or projected create a place apart, almost out of time.
Urban districts of the metropolis
The Bordeaux metropolitan area has many residential districts built between the 1950s and 1980s, which offer dense urban settings, often little-known. Towers, bars, walkways, slab parking lots, stairwells, green parking lots, murals: these spaces offer strong visual material. Neighborhoods like the Grand Parc, Thouars to Talence, or even Les Aubiers, offer an aesthetic of the inhabited city, contrasting, marked by verticality, everyday life, the rhythms of collective life.
