歐蒂娜戴克設計 布列塔尼FRAC當代藝術博物館

The 'FRAC bretagne' by studio odile decq is one of the first new contemporary art museums to be realized in france. although modest in size,the unique material applications and spatial expressions create a dramatically vibrant space characterized by rich tones and reflective surfaces.the main structure is made of reinforced concrete treated with an engineered pigmentation process that gives it a natural black hue, cast in steel formwork so as to give it a subtle metallic texture.

Steel is also used for structural framing in conjunction with the concrete and as exterior siding, given a chemical bath treatment to render the material a deep charcoal. the ground level is defined by an entirely glazed wall exhibiting a gradient transparency and houses a public cafe, seating area, and a small auditorium within a faceted bright red volume that carries through to the levels above. vertical circulation consists of an elevator that serves both services and the public, or the stairs located in a central full-height void illuminated by skylights.

This light well is a programmatic spine from which the galleries, storage, and rooftop library unfold through exploration of the vertical promenade. the solid canopy finishes the traditional exterior formal expression with a contrastingly angular piece that overhangs the transparent library function for natural shade and provides foreshadowing for the interior spaces.
