Guillot-Bourdeix Tower, Nouvelle AOM

THE TOUR GUILLOT AND THE BOURDEIX AUDITORIUM (1972) ARE THE WORK OF THE EPONYMOUS LYONNAIS ARCHITECTS PIERRE BOURDEIX AND PAUL GUILLOT. THE REDEVELOPMENT OF THIS EMBLEMATIC TOWER OF THE LYONNAIS LANDSCAPE IS DESIGNED TO ENHANCE ITS EXISTING BUILT HERITAGE, RENEW ITS USES AND OPEN UP THE BLOCK TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD. THIS RENEWAL MAINLY INVOLVES THE INTEGRATION OF AN AMBITIOUS MIXED-USE PROGRAM: HOUSING, ACTIVITIES, SHOPS AND A RESTAURANT. THE EMPHASIS IS ON OPEN-AIR GARDENS, ACCESSIBLE TO ALL. TWO NEW BUILDINGS WILL BE CREATED. THEIR LIGHTWEIGHT, LOW-CARBON DESIGN FAVORS THE USE OF RECYCLED MATERIALS AND LOCAL RESOURCES. THEY WILL ALSO HOUSE A PROGRAM OF HOUSING, REVERSIBLE OFFICES AND SHOPS.
