Culture vulture
French Architects RMDM have completed a cultural centre near Paris, clad with horizontal strips of poplar wood and ceramic tiles

Called The Cultural Centre Association, the project comprises a library and multi-purpose hall linked by a shared lobby and courtyard garden. According to the architects: “The garden itself can structure the space, like a cloister where the spaces and functions eventually meet. The linear frontage device is important. Indeed in order to minimize the visual impact from surrounding houses, the project extends as much as possible. A project carved by its program through which its volume is obviously becoming more complex in its division. Developing its own identity, this project is inserted so subtle in its environment.

RMDM is Philippe Maillols, Alexandre de Muizon and Eric Dolent. The trio established the practice in 2001 following the achievement of the EUROPAN 6 in Montbéliard. Since then, they were awarded at the Nouveaux Albums des Jeunes Architectes and their work has been the subject of an exhibition at the Pavillon Français at the International Biennale of Architecture in Venice in 2002 among others.
