Featured Projects

@Office for Metropolitan Architecture (OMA)

  • Bibliothèque Alexis de Tocqueville is a public library for the metropolitan region Caen la Mer in Normandy, France. The 12,000 m2 multimedia library is located at the tip of the peninsula that extends out from the city of Caen to the English Channel. Its key position – between the city’s historic core and an area of Caen that is being developed – supports the city’s ambition for the library to become a new civic center. The library’s glass facade visually connects the adjacent park, pedestrian pathway and waterfront plaza to the interior and together with two large ground floor entrances at both sides of the building, enables a fluid interaction of the library with its surroundings.

 

@Office for Metropolitan Architecture (OMA)

  • The architectural approach to Lab City is based on an urban grid of independent blocks which house laboratories and classrooms. As the blocks increase in height, their roof terraces provide open workspaces for students and views to the heart of the structure.

    A large translucent roof covers the public areas of the school (streets, terraces, and center square), creating a beautiful, fully daylit interior city space. The building is intersected by a diagonal street, which extends the public route connecting the university with the surrounding campus.
